FANUC America to Expand Facility in Oakland County, Michigan
The company will add a total of 788,000-square-feet of additional operational floor space.
FANUC America (Rochester Hills, Michigan), a leading supplier of CNCs, robotics and robomachines, announces an expansion to its Oakland County, Michigan campus that will push its operational space to nearly two million square feet. The construction will reportedly include a 655,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility to house manufacturing, engineering and R&D projects.
This investment in Michigan’s growing manufacturing area includes the purchase of 67 acres of land as well as the site of the former Thomas M. Cooley Law School Campus, which will provide future growth in the education of the next generation of robotics and automation workers. Including the existing building, FANUC will add a total of 788,000-square-feet of additional operational floor space.
In October 2019, FANUC America opened its north campus, a 461,000-square-foot facility built by General Development Company, who is also constructing the new West Campus.
The north campus, located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, is walking distance from FANUC America’s headquarters in Rochester Hills, Michigan. The addition continues to be crucial in growing the company’s engineering, R&D, manufacturing and warehousing capabilities and has supported record-breaking orders and deliveries in a short period of time.
The future site for FANUC America’s west campus is located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. With its historical links to the automotive industry, the town has become a thriving business center and home to more than 80 international corporations.
After the City of Auburn Hills approves plans, FANUC America plans to break ground in the fall of 2022 and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2024.
