Schmalz Begins Phase I Expansion of its Headquarters
RALEIGH, NC—Schmalz Inc. has begun expanding its headquarters facility here, which includes more room for the assembly and testing of the company's robotic automation and material handling products. Since its founding in 1999, Schmalz has grown rapidly. The existing building for U.S. headquarters was only completed in July 2016, but due to continued, rapid growth over the past three years, the first significant expansion is already being executed ahead of schedule.
The new construction will triple the size of the existing facility and is scheduled for completion and move-in by early December. Investments to date in the Raleigh location total well over $14 million, with more significant investments already planned in the coming years. These investments have led to a tripling of the staff and will lead up to 62 more new jobs over the coming years with average wages above the Wake County norms.
