Plans are underway for additional manufacturing space
Milwaukee, WI — HellermannTyton North America is continuing with plans to expand its newest facility, located at 6701 West Good Hope Road in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This 92,000 square foot building has been operational since April, 2013. HellermannTyton plans to add at least 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, HellermannTyton North America maintains three facilities in the Milwaukee area, as well as five others in Detroit, Michigan, Ontario, Canada, Guadalajara and Juarez, Mexico and Bolingbrook, Illinois. Bolingbrook, which is HellermannTyton’s main distribution center, will also undergo an expansion in 2014.
HellermannTyton is pressing forward with this expansion ahead of schedule, in order to meet growth expectations in the region. HellermannTyton anticipates that this expansion will create a minimum of 50 new manufacturing and technical jobs for the Milwaukee area in the next two years and up to 125 new hires for HellermannTyton over the next five years. Presently, there are 152 employees working at 6701 Good Hope Road, with nearly 600 employees employed in 2013 with HellermannTyton North America.
With the Good Hope Road expansion, HellermannTyton will be consolidating molding operations and adding space to support the company’s projected growth over the next several years. Some of the molding work will transfer from the company’s Faulkner Road location, which will continue to serve as its North American headquarters. With the transfer of the injection molding operations to Good Hope Road, the company will enlarge its mold manufacturing department, quality assurance lab and add a technical center for research and development at Faulkner Road. In addition to its injection molding operations, the Good Hope Road facility will continue to house necessary automation, maintenance, and support functions.
