GEA, a global leader in manufacturing solutions, has officially commenced operations at its newly inaugurated facility in Janesville, Wisconsin, spanning an expansive 86,000 square feet. This cutting-edge facility is dedicated to fabrication, repair, logistics, and training, with a significant investment of $20 million.
Designed to meet the growing demands of GEA's expanding customer base in the US Midwest, the facility's production capabilities are centered around the finalization of separators, decanters, valves, and pump assembly. Notably, the site incorporates sustainable features, including solar panels, water reuse systems, and an advanced building management system.
Azam Owaisi, CEO of GEA North America, emphasized the significance of the facility's opening, stating, "Opening the new Janesville facility as anticipated in December 2023 represents a significant step toward meeting our customers where they operate. It highlights GEA’s commitment to product quality and service excellence. We are excited to become a vibrant employer and partner for the Janesville community."
The equipment produced at the facility, including separators, decanters, valves, pumps, and homogenizers, plays vital roles in various sectors such as dairy, food, marine, and pharmaceuticals. GEA's commitment to environmental responsibility is evident through the incorporation of eco-friendly features like LED lighting, electric car charging stations, and a high-efficiency heating and cooling system.
This marks another strategic investment by GEA, following the recent opening of a homogenizer production facility in Parma, Italy, and a partnership with Unilever in September to reduce greenhouse emissions in dairy farming.
