Stratasys has opened a new 200,000-square-foot facility in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
The company says the new Americas Regional Corporate Headquarters (ARCH) represents its continued commitment to the U.S. market and a strengthening of its high-tech manufacturing capacity. Stratasys leaders, like founders Scott and Lisa Crump, as well as Rich Garrity, were joined by various United States' representatives at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
ARCH will encompass engineering, advanced research and development, applications expertise, and customer collaboration capabilities under one roof, with a Stratasys Direct facility also in operation.
The motivation behind the launch of ARCH follows a recent independent audit of Stratasys’ Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) management systems at the Minnetonka campus, which confirmed alignment with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards and recommended renewal of both certifications.
United States Congressman and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer said, “Stratasys is helping Minnesota lead in innovation and development as a global leader in additive manufacturing. With the grand opening of their new facility in Minnetonka comes good-paying jobs and economic growth. Their investments in the region are bringing hundreds of high‑skilled engineering, manufacturing, and technical jobs to Minnesota. I’ve been proud to support their work in the past and look forward to working with them in the future.”
United States Representative Betty McCollum added, “As a pioneer in additive manufacturing technologies, Stratasys is at the forefront of advancing our country's national and economic security. Their innovations are making the work of our service members safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective for the taxpayer. I’m thrilled to welcome their new facility here in Minnesota, and I look forward to watching them flourish as a premier innovator in the Twin Cities.”
Dr. Yoav Zeif, Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys, commented, “This state-of-the-art facility in Minnesota brings together our talent, technology, and the capabilities needed to innovate, collaborate, and help our customers accelerate additive manufacturing production at scale.”
“Bringing our teams together under one roof has a meaningful impact on how we operate, innovate, and serve our customers,” added Rich Garrity, Chief Business Unit Officer of Stratasys and NAM Board Member. “ARCH gives us the scale and workspace to accelerate collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, and customer-facing teams, enabling faster delivery of high-quality solutions.”
