Omron Automation relocates to South Carolina

Omron Automation has relocated to Atlas at Inland Port Greer in Greer, SC, as it continues to focus on expanding production capacity in the Americas, improving lead times and enhancing service.

The relocation is set to be finalized by May this year.  At the new facility, Omron will manufacture motion controllers and drives, machine vision, barcode readers and verification systems.

The company also plans to expand production in South Carolina to include some of its highest demand technologies currently made in other global factories.

As part of this expansion, Omron will also establish a state-of-the-art Proof of Concept Center (PoCC) where customers can see technologies in action, collaborate with experts and proactively validate solutions.

‘We have conducted a thorough search of potential manufacturing locations and have selected a site that can best serve the future needs, competitive pricing, and expectations of our valued customers,’ said Mark Sadie, managing director at Omron Automation Americas.

The move reflects Omron’s commitment to its global strategy of multi-site manufacturing and localized production.

‘It is our mission to provide customers with exceptional service and support to help them achieve success. With this relocation, we feel confident we can continue delivering the highest level of service and support our customers have come to expect from Omron,’ concluded Sadie.
