Daikin Applied Proposes Manufacturing Expansion in Minnesota
Daikin identifies southern Minnesota as a center of excellence and the preferred location for their new state-of-the-art HVAC factory
MINNEAPOLIS — Daikin Applied announced its proposal to expand production capabilities with a new state-of-the-art, built-to-order manufacturing facility in southern Minnesota, north of the city of Faribault.
Daikin Applied is a division of Daikin Industries, which is headquartered in Japan. Daikin Industries has more than 90 production bases around the world to meet the specific needs of regional world markets, including two successful U.S. plants in Faribault and Owatonna, Minnesota. Daikin Industries’ executives and team members explored multiple site options outside of the U.S., in different regions of the U.S., and different Minnesota locations and have recognized southern Minnesota as the best opportunity for the planned state-of the-art manufacturing facility, given the region’s skilled talent base and past achievements in designing and producing complex, highly specified equipment.
