Wisconsin’s governor and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation is celebrating a new research facility opening in Sheboygan Falls.
The 38,000 square-foot R&D facility is part of a multi-year $200 million investment in Wisconsin by EMD Electronics, the North American electronics business of Merck KGaA.
The plan is to see investments in critical manufacturing sectors, such as the semiconductor industry.
The new Sheboygan Falls facility provides dedicated capabilities for synthesis, scale-up, and technology transfer, helping EMD Electronics work more closely with customers to accelerate new materials from early-stage development through final products.
WEDC CEO John Miller also added that by bringing research and development, scale-up, and technology transfer capabilities together at the Sheboygan Falls site, EMD Electronics can collaborate more closely with customers and respond more quickly to evolving technology roadmaps and local customer requirements.
The WEDC is supporting the expansion with up to $4.5 million in performance-based tax credits.
