ABB, an infrastructure technology company, is celebrating the floor pour of its newest U.S. flagship campus in New Berlin, Wisconsin.
The greenfield location in New Berlin will serve as the U.S. headquarters, manufacturing facility and distribution center for the Drives and Motion Services businesses. The new facility is anticipated to open in late 2024 and will accommodate 720 ABB employees.
Approximately $100 million is being invested in the project. ABB says that the work is expected to create 100 new jobs over the next three years.
“The U.S. is a significant and crucial market for our drives and the services that support them,” said Tuomo Hoysniemi, president of ABB’s U.S. Motion Business Area and Global Drives Products Division. “We are committed to local engineering, product design, and manufacturing as well as increased capacity and innovative production and warehousing processes. Our new campus will help us better serve our local customers by increasing the availability of market-specific solutions and decreasing the time it takes to serve our customers.”
ABB manufactures a wide range of AC variable frequency drives and controls that reduce energy consumption in buildings and industrial applications in the U.S. market.
