Yaskawa America to Build Robots at New Wisconsin Facility

As part of Yaskawa America’s continued growth in North America, the firm has announced plans to build a new state-of-the-art robotic-manufacturing facility at its newly announced campus in Franklin, WI. For the first time, Yaskawa's high-volume industrial robots will be manufactured on U.S. soil, with units shipping directly from the new facility either to customers in the Americas or to the Yaskawa Motoman facility in Miamisburg, OH, for integration into robotic systems. 

In addition to the robotic-manufacturing operations, the Franklin campus will combine multiple Yaskawa Drives and Motion facilities into one location over the next 3-8 yr., eventually encompassing more than 800,000 sq ft. of advanced manufacturing, packaging and training space. When completed, the campus will house the North American headquarters for the Drives and Motion Division, as well as operations for robot production, motion-control products, AC drives and solar inverters.  The Motoman Robotics Division of Yaskawa America will continue to operate out of its recently expanded headquarters and automation integration facility in Miamisburg.
