NEW BERLIN \u2014 A major investment in American manufacturing is headed to New Berlin.<\/p>\n

Rockwell Automation announced plans to build a new greenfield manufacturing site in New Berlin as part of a $2 billion investment over the next five years in plants, digital infrastructure and talent. The company, known globally for industrial automation and digital transformation, confirmed the new facility will be located in New Berlin, just miles from its Milwaukee headquarters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project reflects Rockwell\u2019s commitment to American manufacturing and underscores our partnership with the communities where we live and work. We will continue to work with state and local officials to finalize next steps,\u201d said Dawn Matson, a Rockwell Automation representative.<\/p>\n

The new campus will be built on a site offering strong access to regional transportation, infrastructure and utilities. While the exact location has not yet been released, company officials said more details will come during the city\u2019s formal application and approval process.<\/p>\n

The New Berlin project is the latest step in a strategy the company announced in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project marks the next step in the company\u2019s previously announced $2 billion investment in plants, digital infrastructure, and talent to grow share, build resilience, and expand margins over the next five years. The facility has the potential to be Rockwell\u2019s largest manufacturing campus globally, with a significant footprint and the flexibility to scale operations,\u201d a previous news release said.<\/p>\n

At more than 1 million square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space, the facility is expected to become a showcase for modern production. Plans call for advanced automation, robotics and digital systems, including artificial intelligence and analytics tools, designed to boost efficiency, precision and performance.<\/p>\n

Governor Tony Evers praised the expansion.<\/p>\n
