Milwaukee Tool has announced construction on its newest facility in Mississippi.

The new location will create more than 800 new jobs, the company reports, and is planned to open in mid-2023.

Milwaukee Tool is investing more than $60 million into advanced technology and manufacturing equipment at the new 563,000-square-foot Grenada location. The facility will house critical accessory manufacturing capabilities, and will join the company’s other service hub in Greenwood, Indiana, as one of Milwaukee Tool’s main axis points for service operations.

“We’re thrilled to, once again, expand our footprint in the state of Mississippi, where we’ve been able to recruit some of the best talent in the country,” says Steve Richman, Milwaukee Tool Group president. “Our success is the result of our talented people and the culture we’ve created; it is unparalleled in the industry. We are committed to investing in new talent, and the right opportunities to continue meeting the needs of our distributor and user partners with the speed and agility that defines who we are as a company.”
