WAUKESHA, Wis., Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac Power
Systems, a leading global designer and manufacturer of energy
technology solutions and other power products, today announced the
expansion of its corporate operations into the Village of Pewaukee with the purchase of a new
building. The new site, located adjacent to I-94 on Highway J, will
serve as the Company's new Customer Contact Center. The 75,000
square-foot office building will house approximately 300
employees.
"Generac has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade
as the combination of an aging grid and extreme weather are
resulting in more frequent and longer lasting power outages, and
that success has only intensified over the last 18 months with more
people needing backup power at home where they're doing everything
from working to learning to shopping," said Aaron Jagdfeld, president and CEO of Generac.
"As we continue to add employees to serve our customers and support
our rapidly evolving business, we have outgrown our current
headquarters facility in Waukesha.
Expanding to this new location will allow us to continue to grow
Generac to serve our customers, partners and our people, as we work
to meet the incredible market demand."
Generac Power Systems is investing more than $8 million to purchase and renovate the building
located at W236N1402 Busse Road in the Village of Pewaukee. The new location will
house key sales and support groups, as well as portions of the
Company's marketing team. The Company closed on the new site on
July 29, 2021 and will begin
occupancy in August.
In addition to the new location in Pewaukee, Generac opened a new plant in
Trenton, South Carolina earlier
this year to increase the Company's capacity to meet growing demand
for Generac's home standby generators. Furthermore, within the last
month, Generac opened additional offices in Denver and Boston to accommodate tremendous growth in
demand for Clean Energy products.
The Company's global headquarters has been in Waukesha, WI since 1959 and will remain its
primary location for corporate operations as well as research and
development activities.
