Milwaukee Tool has further strengthened its presence in the United States by opening its newest and largest manufacturing facility in Grenada County, Mississippi. This marks the company’s eighth location in the state and will create over 800 jobs, making it Milwaukee’s largest U.S. manufacturing site to date.
“Our rapid growth continues to accelerate, and this new facility in Grenada plays a crucial role in maintaining our trajectory of excellence in serving our distributor and user partners,” said Scott Griswold, group president of the Professional Accessories Business Unit at Milwaukee Tool. “This success is the direct result of recruiting some of the best talent around the nation, especially in the state of Mississippi. Our strong people and our unique culture are unlike anything else in the industry.” Scott added further.
Milwaukee Tool has invested over $60 million into its cutting-edge, 500,000-square-foot facility in Grenada. Outfitted with advanced technology and manufacturing capabilities, the new location will initially focus on producing Milwaukee’s renowned accessories, including the iconic Sawzall Blades, with plans to expand into additional product lines in the future.
