Bobcat completes renovations at Wisconsin facility

Bobcat Company reported it has completed its $5.3 million renovation at its Johnson Creek, Wisconsin, location.

“We continue to make investments in our facilities and operations, as part of our commitment to support our employees with a collaborative, inspiring workplace and to serve as a strong community partner where we operate,” said Mike Ballweber, president, Doosan Bobcat North America.

The investment in the Johnson Creek facility, which manufactures mowers, modernized the office and employee spaces with an open-concept design, which includes multiple meeting and conference rooms, updated furniture and an enhanced employee break room.  

The renovations are consistent with the interior design, finishes and furnishings of other Bobcat locations throughout North America. Featuring open seating and no cubicles, the space is intended to encourage collaboration, drive innovation and support cross-functional teamwork, said the firm.

Shultz + Associates Architects supported the architecture plans, while ABC Construction served as the general contractor and Midwest Electric worked on the electrical aspects of the facility.

“Seeing the many enhanced spaces throughout the facility and the new Bobcat signage has been exciting, and we are so appreciative of the support from our employees and construction partners during this process,” said Chris Knipfer, vice president of grounds maintenance equipment business, Doosan Bobcat North America.

The location houses more than 375 employees working across sales, human resources, strategic sourcing, design and test engineering, and manufacturing operations for some of the company’s turf and grounds maintenance equipment products.

“Johnson Creek is an important part of our company’s operations, and we are thrilled to build on our success here in Wisconsin,” said Knipfer.
