In the U.S., Turck has added 38,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space near its Plymouth, Minnesota, headquarters. Over the past five years, Turcks U.S. staff has grown by nearly 32 percent as requests for its products and custom-engineered solutions continue to increase. The new location allows Turck to more efficiently build and ship its products to customers, while creating room for continued growth at its headquarters. The companys Connectivity Division and Research and Development have moved to the new location, while the Sensors and Fieldbus Technology divisions remain in their current spaces.

"With more manufacturing space and improved shipping capabilities, our expanded facilities will enhance how we serve our customers," said Dave Lagerstrom, president and CEO of Turck. "The additional space will allow us to better build products and ensure they arrive as quickly as possible to our customers across North America."

Additional U.S. expansion is taking place in Detroit, with new space for offices, manufacturing, and warehouse operations.
