Japanese robotics giant Fanuc plans to invest $90 million to build a new 840,000-square-foot plant in Pontiac, expanding its U.S. production footprint to meet booming demand for onshoring and automation by automakers and other customers.
The investment, which was anticipated to be a discussion point of Thursday’s meeting between President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, is expected to create 225 jobs and be complete by 2027, Mike Cicco, president and CEO of Fanuc America Corp., told Crain’s.
Fanuc, whose largest customer is General Motors Co., is under contract to buy a roughly 40-acre plot of land for the development just south of the Williams International headquarters in the southeast corner of Pontiac. The new expansion plan comes on the heels of an 800,000-square-foot development completed in Auburn Hills two years ago.
Once complete, it would bring Fanuc’s U.S. footprint to 3 million square feet, with 700 jobs created and nearly $300 million invested since 2019, primarily in metro Detroit. Additionally, the company is expected to open its new advanced manufacturing academy at the former Cooley Law School site in Auburn Hills this year.
