SICK AG, based in Waldkirch, Germany, is one of the world's leading solution providers for sensor-based applications for industrial applications. The company has more than 12,000 employees worldwide and nearly $2.5 billion in sales in 2023.
Since 1975, SICK’s Minnesota-based employees have been based in various facilities around Minnesota and have recently moved into a new building located near to the Mall of America and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. This new expansion is an additional 139,000 square feet on four floors. Each floor is designed with functionality for labs, including engineering, vision software and applications, robotics, conveyors, and research & development. A state-of-the-art customer conferencing/training space is also part the project.
The construction project, SICK added, will have sustainability features at its core, including green space and use of geothermal wells. The campus will be the company's “central connector” for our customers and regional offices located in North America: Boston, Houston, Detroit, San Francisco, Toronto, and Calgary.
