Rockwell Automation to Build Massive New Greenfield Plant in Wisconsin

Milwaukee, WI – Rockwell Automation announced plans to construct a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility exceeding 1 million square feet in southeastern Wisconsin as part of a broader $2 billion capital investment program across its U.S. operations.

The greenfield project will allow the company to completely redesign its production processes from the ground up. CEO Blake Moret emphasized the strategic importance of the new site, stating, “Designing a new facility presents the opportunity to create the future of industrial operations, with highly orchestrated production that integrates the latest automation and digital technologies.”

The Wisconsin plant is expected to create hundreds of high-skilled jobs and further solidify Rockwell’s manufacturing presence in the Midwest. Site selection and construction timelines have not yet been disclosed.
