FANUC America has unveiled plans for a $90 million investment to build a new 840,000 sq. ft. facility in Michigan, aimed at enhancing its U.S. manufacturing capabilities for robots. The project, expected to be completed by late 2027, will create 225 jobs and expand the company's engineering and advanced manufacturing capacity to meet rising automation demand across North America.
This strategic investment is significant as it reinforces FANUC America's commitment to domestic manufacturing and the U.S. reindustrialization effort. The company has invested nearly $300 million in new facilities since 2019, increasing its footprint to 3 million sq. ft. and generating over 700 jobs in the United States. The expansion will also support industries that depend on automation, thereby improving competitiveness in the market.
Looking ahead, FANUC America is set to open the newly expanded FANUC Academy in Auburn Hills, MI, later this year, which will become the largest robotics and automation skills-development center in the U.S. This initiative aims to address the national manufacturing skills gap and the growing demand for automation talent, particularly in AI-enabled robotics.
