Milwaukee Tool started construction of its newest facility in Grenada County, Miss. The facility will accommodate the company’s growing power tool and accessories business, and will also serve as a centralized repair facility, according to the manufacturer. The facility is slated to open in mid-2023.

“We’re thrilled to, once again, expand our footprint in the state of Mississippi, where we’ve been able to recruit some of the best talent in the country,” Steve Richman, Milwaukee Tool group president, said in a prepared statement. “Our success is the result of our talented people and the culture we’ve created; it is unparalleled in the industry. We are committed to investing in new talent, and the right opportunities to continue meeting the needs of our distributor and user partners with the speed and agility that defines who we are as a company.”

Milwaukee Tool said it is investing more than $60 million into advanced technology and manufacturing equipment at the 563,000-square-foot location. The Grenada County, Miss., facility will house “critical accessory” manufacturing capabilities and will join the manufacturer’s other service hub in Greenwood, Ind., as one of Milwaukee Tool’s main axis points for service operations.

In the past year, Milwaukee Tool has invested $216 million in domestic expansion projects. The company’s other domestic presences include Greenwood, Olive Branch, Clinton, and Jackson, Miss.; Brookfield, Menomonee Falls, Milwaukee, West Bend, Mukwonago and Sun Prairie, Wis.; Cookeville, Tenn.; Chicago; and Greenwood, Ind.
