Milwaukee Tool Starts Construction of New Facility in Grenada, MS
August 1, 2022
Milwaukee Tool has started construction on its newest facility in Mississippi. Located in Grenada County, Milwaukee's latest expansion will accommodate the company's growing power tool accessories and power tool business and will also serve as a centralized repair facility. The new location, which will create more than 800 new jobs, is planned to open in mid-2023.
"We are thrilled to, once again, expand our footprint in the state of Mississippi, where we have been able to recruit some of the best talent in the country," said Steve Richman, Milwaukee Tool Group President. "Our success is the result of our talented people and the culture we have created. It is unparalleled in the industry. We are committed to investing in new talent and the right opportunities in order to continue meeting the needs of our distributor and user partners with the speed and agility that defines who we are as a company."
Milwaukee is investing more than $60 million into advanced technology and manufacturing equipment at the new 563,000 sq. ft. Grenada location. The facility-which will house critical accessory manufacturing capabilities-will join the company's other service hub in Greenwood, IN, as one of Milwaukee Tool's main axis points for service operations.
"Milwaukee Tool, which employs more than 10,000 people in the U.S., has continually expanded its footprint domestically and globally as the company experiences incredible double-digit growth. In Mississippi, the company has invested more than $209 million in domestic expansion projects over the last five years and employs 4,400 people," said a company spokesperson.
