The Japanese robot maker Fanuc will build a nearly one-million square foot factory in Michigan to support future robotics growth and U.S. manufacturing demand, the company said Tuesday.

The $90 million, 840,000 square foot facility is targeted for completion in late 2027. The goal of the project is to expand Fanuc America’s engineering capacity and advanced manufacturing capabilities to support growing demand for automation solutions across North America, including physical AI, virtual commissioning, and digital-twin technologies, the company said.

“FANUC America is committed to supporting U.S. reindustrialization by delivering state-of-the-art automation technologies to customers and broadening access to advanced manufacturing workplace training services,” Mike Cicco, President and CEO of FANUC America, said in a release.

“The newly expanded FANUC Academy—opening in Auburn Hills, MI, later this year—will become the largest robotics and automation skills-development center in the United States, helping address the national manufacturing skills gap, rising demand for automation talent, the shift toward AI-enabled robotics and the country’s overall competitiveness,” Cicco said.
