FANUC America Announces Expansion
The global supplier of automation, machining and injection molding equipment has plans to nearly double its Michigan campus.
FANUC America (Rochester Hills, Mich.), a global supplier of CNCs, robotics and Robomachines, including the Roboshot injection molding machines distributed in the U.S. by Milacron, has announced a West Campus expansion that will push its operational space in Oakland County, Michigan to nearly 2 million ft2. The addition will include a 655,000-ft2 facility to house manufacturing, engineering and R&D.
This investment includes the purchase of 67 acres of land as well as the site of the former Thomas M. Cooley Law School Campus. Including the existing building, FANUC will add a total of 788,000-ft2 of additional operational floor space.
In October 2019, FANUC America opened North Campus, a 461,000-ft2 facility built by General Development Company, which is also constructing the new West Campus. The North Campus in Auburn Hills is within walking distance of FANUC America’s headquarters in Rochester Hills. Upon approval of the city of Auburn Hills, FANUC America plans to break ground in the fall of 2022, with the expansion expected to be complete by the spring of 2024.
