Rexnord is comprised of two strategic platforms, Process & Motion Control and Water Management, with approximately 8,000 employees worldwide. The Process & Motion Control platform designs, manufactures, markets and services specified, highly engineered mechanical components used within complex systems. The Water Management platform designs, procures, manufactures and markets products that provide and enhance water quality, safety, flow control and conservation.
Downers Grove was selected for the project following a national search. Rexnord plans to build a 248,000 sq. ft. facility for its manufacturing operations and Aerospace Headquarters. The project is expected to be completed by 2019.
“We are investing in a new facility on our existing site to support the growing needs of our customers,” said Jamie Quilter, Rexnord Vice President & General Manager - Aerospace. “The new facility will provide upgraded technology and additional capacity, as well as provide our customers with an exciting experience and our associates with a unique collaborative and innovative environment.”
“I am extremely excited that Rexnord is expanding their presence in the Village and making this significant investment in our community,” said Mayor Martin Tully. “The development of their new state of the art manufacturing facility and Aerospace Headquarters is a big win for Downers Grove.”
The Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation worked closely with officials from Rexnord, as well the consulting firm that was retained for this project: Cushman & Wakefield. In addition, the Village of Downers Grove, Community High School District 99, and Downers Grove Grade School District 58, were instrumental in the attraction of this project.
