Yaskawa America Inc. has completed an expansion to its headquarters in Miamisburg, Ohio. The 185,000 sq.-ft. state-of-the-art addition will nearly double the size of the company’s current production space, optimizing its operational capacity to meet the growing demand of the automation industry.
The additional manufacturing space will be utilized to engineer, develop, integrate and build robotic systems, as well as provide additional space for the retrofit and rebuild of previously deployed robots and systems.

“This expansion represents the first phase of Yaskawa’s planned $200M investment in the United States to support the Company’s growth initiatives and its commitment to driving additional development and production in the Americas,” said Steve Barhorst, president and COO of Yaskawa Motoman. “This investment and other planned investments in the near future along with the Company’s unwavering focus on robotics, semiconductor motion and inverter markets will continue to drive growth and manufacturing forward in the North American Market.”
Yaskawa Motoman celebrated the opening of the new addition with an event for employees and their families in early August 2024 and will welcome customers, partners, and dignitaries through various separate gatherings throughout the remainder of 2024.
