Motoman Starts Construction on New Headquarters

Ground recently was broken for Motoman Robotics’ new facility in Miamisburg, Ohio. The new facility will serve as the company’s headquarters and main manufacturing facility for its North and South American operations.

The new, 300,000-sq.- ft. office and production facility will combine the current West Carrollton, Ohio, headquarters, with a manufacturing plant and a warehouse located in Troy, Ohio.

“The new facility has been designed and will be built with a customer and employee focus,” stated President and COO Steve Barhorst. “Our desire is to further enhance our customers’ experience while driving improved efficiencies to help us help our customers be more competitive. Our customers are why we are here today and are the key to our future. We owe it to our customers to serve them more efficiently and effectively.”

The new facility will house approximately 250 to 275 employees, with the plan to expand the employee base and facility as the company expands its operations. The 25-acre site allows for the building to be expanded by 200,000 sq. ft. to support this growth.

“We look forward to utilizing this expansion as soon as possible and being a catalyst for economic growth in the region,” added Barhorst. “We want to continue to give back to a region that has supported us throughout our existence.”

Construction will take about 10 months with an expected move-in date of June 2011.
