TRUMPF plans to expand its operations with a new 50,000 sq ft facility in Chicago, IL, that will house a Technology Centre and a Centre for Excellence for Industry 4.0. The facility will be completed by mid-2017.
The facility will be located on five acres of land adjacent to Interstate Highway 90 in Hoffman Estates, an area known as "machine tool alley" because of the number of machine tool builders and associated suppliers located in the area.
