Generac Power Systems, Inc., in conjunction with the City of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, announced its proposed plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Beaver Dam, which is a town of 16,000 in the middle of the state.

“The demand for our industrial generators continues on a rapid growth trajectory, and this new facility will help us to best meet the needs of our customers,” said Aaron Jagdfeld, president and chief executive officer of Generac.

To help fulfill the growing demand for Generac’s industrial generators, Generac reported it is planning to build a facility of approximately 320,000 square feet in the town’s Highway 151 Business Park.

“Additionally, the new manufacturing location demonstrates Generac’s dedication to shaping the future of industrial power generation,” said Jagdfeld.

Including a mix of manufacturing and office employees, the facility will eventually employ up to 350-400 people in total at the location, said the energy technology company.

“Generac’s intended investment in our region is a testament to the business-friendly environment we’ve worked hard to cultivate,” said Becky Glewen, mayor of Beaver Dam.

“The establishment of this new plant translates to meaningful employment, stronger families, and a flourishing economy for Beaver Dam,” said the mayor.

Pending city approval of the project, Generac will begin construction later this year, with the aim of completing construction by early 2025.
