Yaskawa America to Build Robotics Manufacturing Campus in Wisconsin

Franklin, WI – Yaskawa America has announced plans to construct a new state-of-the-art robotics manufacturing facility as part of an 800,000-square-foot campus in Franklin, Wisconsin.

The new site will serve North American customers with high-volume production of industrial robots and will consolidate operations currently based in Illinois.

“We are proud of our cutting-edge technology, our commitment to quality, and our world-class manufacturing,” said Mike Knapek, CEO of Yaskawa America. “The unification of our facilities in Wisconsin and Illinois into a consolidated campus in Franklin positions us for strong future growth and continued innovation in the region.”

The project marks a major investment in the Midwest’s growing robotics and automation industry. Construction timelines and job creation details are expected to be released in the coming months.
