Since 1975, SICK’s Minnesota-based employees have been based in various facilities around Minnesota and have recently moved into a new building located near to the Mall of America and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. This new expansion is an additional 139,000 square feet on four floors. Each floor is designed with functionality for labs, including engineering, vision software and applications, robotics, conveyors, and research & development. A state-of-the-art customer conferencing/training space is also part the project.
