Foxconn Expands Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, Manufacturing Operations

Area Development News Desk

11/28/2025

Electronic manufacturing service provider Foxconn plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Racine County, Wisconsin. The $569 million project is expected to create 1,374 jobs in Racine County over the next four years.

“As the demand for more data infrastructure continues to rise, Foxconn will keep responding to our customers’ needs with flexibility and at scale in the United States,” said Jerry Hsiao, chief product officer for Foxconn. “Wisconsin accounts for close to a fourth of our workforce in America, and this second-stage project will double that presence in the state by the end of this decade.”

To support the project the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) approved $16 million in performance-based tax incentives. Additionally, Foxconn is eligible to earn up to a total of $96 million in performance-based tax credits under the state’s Electronics, Information Technology, and Manufacturing Zone program through Dec. 31, 2029.

“WEDC has been committed to ensuring Foxconn’s success and growth in our state,” noted Sam Rikkers, deputy secretary and chief operating officer of WEDC. “This new amendment reflects Foxconn’s status as one of the many leading global manufacturers that have chosen to grow in Wisconsin.”

Foxconn specializes in manufacturing consumer electronics like the iPhone in addition to products for major companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Amazon.
