Motion Ai Opens New Facility in Minnesota
The facility features regional sales and support center, classrooms for employee and customer training, a regional fulfillment center, assembly and fabrication shops, a proof-of-concept design area and engineering labs.
Motion Industries Inc., a leading distributor of maintenance, repair and
operation replacement parts, and a premier provider of industrial technology solutions, has opened a new facility in Eden Prairie, Minnesota for Motion Ai.
As an industrial automation solution provider, Motion Ai needed a larger space for its growing business. The new 105,000-square-foot facility features a gain of 55,000 square feet over the old location, which was also in Eden Prairie. The larger space enables integrated use, including a regional sales and support center, classrooms for employee and customer training, a regional fulfillment center, assembly and fabrication shops, a proof-of-concept design area and engineering labs for customer product and demonstration engagement.
In addition, Motion Ai’s capabilities at this facility include large conveyor system builds, complete automation system builds, robotic and machine vision solutions, expanded pneumatic and machine control solutions, machining, welding and more.
“We wanted to meet the growing demands of our customers and the industry by growing every facet of automation and robotics solutions,” Aurelio Banda, Motion’s senior vice president of automation intelligence, says. “Our investments allow for future, incremental expansion within our structure up to 30% beyond our current growth plans. This will also allow us to add employees over time.”
Randy Breaux, president of Motion, adds, “This is an important step in our long-term growth strategy, and we’re excited to see the upward trajectory of technological innovation and services that the new Motion Ai location will support.”
Motion Ai will hold an open house at the new facility in spring 2023.
