NORD DRIVESYSTEMS recently celebrated the grand opening of their new, state-of-the-art production facility in McKinney, Texas. This factory marks the fourth U.S. production location of the global gear motor and control products manufacturer, with established facilities located in Corona, CA, Charlotte, NC, and the 291,700 sq. ft. U.S. corporate headquarters in Waunakee, WI. The Texas plant will enable NORD to offer additional support in the southern region with localized pre-sales, inventory, assembly, and aftermarket services, as well as function as a fourth hub to support customers across the United States.
The McKinney facility, situated in the northeast suburbs of Dallas, covers a total of 85,000 sq. ft. with space allocated for assembly, service, and offices. The location is staffed with production, warehouse, quality, service, customer experience, and administrative personnel and began producing unpainted gear units in June of 2023 after Phase 1 construction was completed. Phase 2 included the addition of 5 assembly cells, bringing the total to 10, and build-out of the front office area that houses leadership offices, a conference room, training room, break room, and locker facilities. Most recently, Phase 3 was completed, adding a fullservice paint system that enables gear units to be painted with a variety of surface treatments on-site. Once the facility is at full operational capacity it will produce up to 200 units per shift.
