Milwaukee Tool to open new Indiana service hub
Milwaukee Tool plans to open a new service hub in Greenwood, Indiana, in March 2021.
The centralized repair facility will complement the company’s other service hub in Greenwood, Mississippi. It will employ more than 450 people and improve service response time for users.
“As we grow, we continue to invest in the right opportunities and talent that will allow us to deliver the very best solutions and overall experience for our users and distribution partners,” said Steve Richman, Milwaukee Tool Group president. “We are committed to unprecedented speed, agility, innovation, and quality. This new service hub will play a critical role in our continuing to deliver on these commitments.”
Milwaukee will invest $6.75 million to establish its new service hub to accommodate the rapid growth the company has experienced in the last several years. The 150,000-square-foot facility will house tool repair and warehousing space.
Over the last year the company has invested more than $135 million in domestic expansion projects and employs 4,500 people nationwide. Milwaukee currently has manufacturing, distribution, and operations facilities in Greenwood, Indiana; Olive Branch, and Jackson, Mississippi; as well as in Brookfield, Menomonee Falls, Mukwonago, and Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Earlier in 2020, the company announced its plans for a new hand tool manufacturing plant in West Bend, Wisconsin.
