Milwaukee Tool recently announced plans to create a new tool service hub in Greenwood, Indiana which creates over 450 jobs by the end of 2025.
Milwaukee Tool manufactures heavy-duty power tools, hand tools, storage, and accessories for the professional construction trade worldwide and is a leading manufacturer in the industry.
"Milwaukee Tool continues to grow, and a new, centrally-located service hub here in Indiana will support the company's increased demand and strengthen the customer experience," Gov. Eric Holcomb. "Indiana’s advanced manufacturing workforce will be a key asset for this growing company, helping Milwaukee Tool provide high-quality service to its customers and contributing to its mission of continuous innovation and commitment to the trades," according to the Indiana Economic Department Corporation.
Headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin, Milwaukee Tool is currently working on a 150,000-square-foot location in Greenwood, Indiana that is estimated to be complete by March 2021.
“As we continue to grow, it’s important that we create true partnerships that will allow us to attract, retain, and recruit the best talent in the world. We are proud to partner with the city of Greenwood and the state of Indiana to grow a world-class work environment in this community,” Steve Richman, group president for Milwaukee Tool, said, according to the Indiana Economic Department of Corporation. “The Greenwood, Indiana, service hub will play a critical role to help improve our service response time for users.”
Ten years ago, Milwaukee Tool was a company of 1,000 employees and has since rapidly grown to 5,000 today.
“We are pleased to welcome Milwaukee Tool as the most recent global brand to establish a major presence in Greenwood," Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers said, according to the Indiana Economic Department of Corporation. "Milwaukee Tool joins FedEx, Pitney Bowes, Amazon, Nestle Water, ULTA Beauty and several other prominent companies who have chosen Greenwood during the past decade. Greenwood’s economy is strong and growing steadily. Our quality of life improvements, low tax rates, and financial stability continue to attract prestigious companies to our city. The Milwaukee Tool facility is projected to produce hundreds of skilled jobs with strong wages and benefits. Greenwood is proud to have a skilled workforce and thriving businesses in advanced manufacturing, consulting, logistics, and service industries.”
