Digi-Key Electronics Eyes Fulfillment Center In Thief River Falls, Minnesota
03/07/2017
According to company officials, “while multiple options are under review, Thief River Falls would be its preferred location, contingent on both local approvals and legislative changes required.” Thief River Falls is about 50 miles east of North Grand Forks.
Dave Doherty, Digi-Key's President & COO said, "Digi-Key's ongoing growth in both domestic and international sales is driving the need for increased capacity." Digi-Key's potential expansion would add 1,000+ new jobs over the next ten years to its existing base of 3,200 employees in Minnesota.
"Given our large size, every major expansion becomes more complex and requires that we review a variety of possibilities," Rick Trontvet, Digi-Key's Vice President of Administration & Human Resources said.
"This review process involves a lot of fact finding, including due diligence with local and state officials to help us make these decisions," he added.
Digi-Key's current operations generate approximately $1.5 billion in economic output and add over $940 million to the state's gross state product. This new expansion would contribute an additional $500 million in state economic output.
