Kuka Robotics' new home was a building built on spec in 2001 and never occupied nor improved - the floor was still dirt when the company chose its new location. Kuka Robotics had sub-leased the previous building from a sister company, Kuka Systems Corp., which is expanding into Kuka Robotics' former space due to its growth. Stocks of robots and parts are also on-hand to meet ever-increasing pressure for fast delivery.Īt 80,550 square feet, the new building is 34 percent larger than Kuka's previous home in Clinton Township. Half of the building is dedicated to "hands-on" experiences with the latest robotics technologies, products, and training. The new building is home to KUKA Robotics' USA-based sales, applications, project engineering, service, parts, training and administrative staff, plus North American business leadership personnel. “KUKA is proud to support the local community and develop new talent for our global aerospace business,” said KUKA Aerospace Group Vice President Robert Reno.SHELBY TOWNSHIP - Kuka Robotics Corp., a subsidiary of Germany's Kuka Roboter GmbH, Tuesday announced the opening of its new North American headquarters building. Clair Township Workforce Development Board plans to find and screen candidates for the new jobs that will be created. As a result, the Michigan Business Development Program awarded a $900,000 performance-based grant, Clinton Township offered a property tax abatement, and the Macomb-St.
The Macomb County Department of Planning & Economic Development worked closely with company officials to identify and secure programs and services to help with the expansion.
Today the company has more than 3,500 employees in 15 countries worldwide. Its parent company, KUKA Group, was founded in Germany in 1898. KUKA Systems is a global supplier of assembly and welding systems, as well as other related machinery, for the automotive, aerospace, alternative energy and manufacturing industries. “Aside from being a leader in the development of automated systems and the great jobs they provide, they have also been an active and involved partner with the county.” “I am thrilled that KUKA Systems will expand its home in Macomb County,” said County Executive Mark A. The expansion is expected to create 116 new jobs. KUKA Systems North America will invest $14.4 million in its Clinton Township operations to meet increased demand for products.
