Global Robotics Suppliers Expand in Auburn Hills and Novi, Michigan
08/02/2018
FANUC America Corporation, a subsidiary of FANUC CORPORATION in Japan, is the leading supplier of robotics, CNC systems, factory automation and Industrial IoT solutions.
Following an expansion in 2016 to a system integration and logistics facility in Pontiac, FANUC America’s accelerated growth led the company to construct a new facility in the city of Auburn Hills that will be used for engineering, product development, manufacturing and warehousing.
The project is expected to generate a total capital investment of more than $51 million and create 100 jobs, resulting in a $1 million Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant.
In addition, the city of Auburn Hills has offered a property tax abatement valued at $3,504,000 in support of the project.
“Robotics and automation are key drivers of manufacturing competitiveness,” said Mike Cicco, President & CEO, FANUC America. “We’re looking forward to expanding our facilities here in Oakland County to keep pace with the growing demand for automation.”
Nachi Robotic Systems, Inc., a robotics and automation provider, is at capacity at its facility in the city of Novi and plans to lease a larger, newer facility in Novi that will house office, shop, laboratory, and warehouse space. The project is expected to generate a total capital investment of $12 million and create 36 jobs, resulting in a $360,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant. In addition, the city of Novi offered a 50-percent property tax abatement in support of the project.
“The North American Headquarters for Nachi Robotics has seen success in Novi since 1989, so we are thrilled that we’ll maintain residency in this city with a new facility on 12 Mile Road,” said Nachi Robotics Chairman & CEO, Akira Nozaki. “With the money received from this grant, we’re looking forward to expanding the footprint of NRS, not only in Novi, but Oakland County and the State of Michigan.”
