Milwaukee Tool to Open Wisconsin Manufacturing Plant



Milwaukee Tool will once again expand its footprint in the United States with a new vertically integrated manufacturing plant in West Bend, WI. Located only 20 min from Milwaukee Tool's global headquarters, the facility will manufacture new-to-market hand tools for professional electricians and utility linemen.

"With a focus on core users in the electrical, plumbing and mechanical trades, our strategy for hand tools from the beginning has been to disrupt the market with superior performance, quality and user-driven feature sets," said Tim Albrecht, President of Hand Tools for Milwaukee Tool. "As we continue with that strategy, we are thrilled to invest in state-of-the-art technology and equipment, and a skilled labor force-right in the heart of Wisconsin-to deliver the next wave of hand tool innovation to the industry."

With an initial expected investment of almost $26 million, Milwaukee Tool will break ground in April 2020 and expects mass production to begin in early 2021.

"We will continue to invest, we will continue to grow, and we will continue to change the game," said Steve Richman, Group President of Milwaukee Tool. "In 2020 alone, we will invest over $100 million and create 350 jobs in the United States to diversify our operations and better serve the professional trades."

Milwaukee Tool currently has manufacturing and distribution operations in Greenwood, Olive Branch and Jackson, MS, as well as in Mukwonago and Sun Prairie, WI. Along with the new hand tool manufacturing plant in West Bend, WI, plans in progress to expand in 2020 include: operations in Cookeville, TN, for power tool manufacturing and assembly; in Sun Prairie, WI, for accessories manufacturing; and in Olive Branch, MS, for a new 766,000 sq. ft. distribution facility.
