Multinational consumer goods company SC Johnson announced the relocation of 170 Chicago-based employees to Wisconsin this week, in a move the company made to foster stronger collaboration.
The employees currently based in Chicago will be relocated to the company’s Racine-area facilities by the end of 2026, according to a news release.
“This is an important change for our business given some recent organizational changes, and we look forward to welcoming even more SCJ people to the Racine-area,” SC Johnson chairman and CEO Fisk Johnson said.
The relocated employees will move to a 51,000-square-foot facility in Mount Pleasant, which the company purchased for $15 million in 2023. The building is near two other facilities owned by the company, according to BizTimes.
Approximately 100 employees will remain in a Chicago-based office, in addition to a manufacturing center in the city’s Pullman neighborhood on the South Side.
