SICK celebrates groundbreaking of $64 million expansion in Bloomington, Minnesota

As a global leader in sensor technology, SICK’s expansion in Minnesota will enable the creation of more high-quality jobs in the technology and manufacturing sectors


SICK, Inc. held a groundbreaking ceremony today, Wednesday, May 22, to celebrate the beginning of construction on a $64 million expansion at the SICK Office and Customer Resource Building in Bloomington, Minn., which is the North American headquarters for SICK. Additionally, and in collaboration with the City of Bloomington and the Port Authority, the project also includes a 7-Level Parking Ramp, witih convenient parking for all, with primary use by SICK employees.

SICK AG, based in Waldkirch, Germany, is one of the world's leading solution providers for sensor-based applications for industrial applications. The company has more than 12,000 employees worldwide and nearly $2.5 billion in sales in 2023.

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.

The construction project, SICK added, will have sustainability features at its core, including green space and use of geothermal wells. The campus will be the company's “central connector” for our customers and regional offices located in North America: Boston, Houston, Detroit, San Francisco, Toronto, and Calgary. More information about SICK's new campus is available here.
