Rockwell Automation plans major Wisconsin manufacturing site to expand U.S. production
Rockwell Automation, Inc. announced plans to build a new greenfield manufacturing campus in Southeastern Wisconsin, expanding its United States production footprint and advancing its previously announced $2 billion investment in facilities, digital infrastructure, and workforce development. According to the company, the site has the potential to become its largest manufacturing campus globally.
The planned facility will include more than 1 million square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space and will incorporate advanced automation, robotics, and digital technologies. Rockwell Automation says the site will use artificial intelligence, analytics, and modern production systems to increase operational efficiency and improve precision.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Blake Moret said the project provides an opportunity to design a next-generation manufacturing environment built around highly orchestrated production. Chief Supply Chain Officer Bob Buttermore added that the campus will give employees access to advanced tools and training designed to support high-performance operations.
The new location will be near Rockwell Automation’s global headquarters in Milwaukee. Construction and site planning are underway in coordination with local and state officials. The company plans to share additional information as the project develops.
