I have a shape file with location names in a meter grid. The position is right on top of the object so there is also a column with a XY offset in millimeters. I would like to add the offset to the position and create a new file where the sum of these becomes the new coordinates. What is the best way to do this?

The Offsetter transformer should do what you want. The offset is calculated in the unit of the coordinate system so you will have to divide the values from the column to convert from millimeters.
