“Weidmüller's expansion at the Richmond site demonstrates our commitment in the USA and furthers our aim of bringing development and production even closer to our local partners and customers. Richmond has been Weidmüller's home for almost 50 years and has proven to be an excellent location. We would like to thank the Governor of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and Chesterfield County for their continued support,” said Board Chairman Christian Gläsel.

As part of its growth strategy, in the first phase, Weidmüller will expand its sales, development and production area in the USA by 2,300 square meters. The climate-friendly new building will be equipped with solar cells designed to achiever an annual output of 392,000 kilowatt hours. Highly efficient air conditioning, recycled materials and charging stations for electric vehicles from our own production will make an additional contribution to the sustainability of the building concept.

The investment of $16 million will be realised over three years and will create more than 100 new jobs in Richmond, Virginia. Part of the strategy is also the acquisition of a neighbouring property for further expansion of the site.
