NORFOLK - Zim-American Israeli Shipping Co.'s new North American headquarters opens for business today in the Lake Wright Executive Center.
Zim, the world's ninth-largest shipping line, moved here from the World Trade Center in Manhattan to tap into the lower cost of doing business in Hampton Roads.
The company's new $6.2 million building, built by the Gee's Group, will eventually be home base for 235 employees.
