Yaskawa America Inc., Motoman Robotics Division (Yaskawa Motoman) has completed the expansion of its headquarters in Miamisburg, Ohio. The 185,000 square foot state-of-the-art addition will nearly double the size of the company’s current production space. Accordingly, it would optimize operational capacity to meet the growing demand of the automation industry.

Primarily, the additional manufacturing space will be utilized to engineer, develop, integrate and build robotic systems. Also, it will provide additional space for the retrofit and rebuild of previously deployed robots and systems.

Part of US$200M Investment

Mainly, this expansion represents the first phase of Yaskawa’s planned $200M investment in the United States. “It aims to support the Company’s growth initiatives and its commitment to driving additional development and production in the Americas,” stated Steve Barhorst, President and COO of Yaskawa Motoman.

He said, “Yaskawa is committed to delivering high-quality solutions to valued customers and partners. This investment and other planned investments in the near future, along with the Company’s unwavering focus on robotics, semiconductor motion and inverter markets will continue to drive growth and manufacturing forward in the North American Market.”

“Yaskawa Motoman thanks the City of Miamisburg, Montgomery County, Jobs Ohio, and the State of Ohio as well as its builder – Construction Managers of Ohio in supporting the expansion and assisting in making the project successful. We are grateful for the support that we received from these groups. Also, we are pleased to continue to be a catalyst for economic growth in the City of Miamisburg and the Greater Dayton Region,” added Barhorst.

Further, it is important to give back to this community that has supported Yaskawa Motoman since our inception.

In early August, Yaskawa Motoman celebrated the opening of the new addition with an event for employees and their families. Moreover, it will welcome customers, partners, and dignitaries through various separate gatherings throughout the remainder of 2024.
