Weidmuller USA is proud to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025, marking five decades as a pioneer of innovation in smart industrial connectivity and automation products and solutions.
A highlight of the company’s year-long commemoration of this milestone anniversary is a grand opening event in Spring 2025 of its 24,000 square-foot engineering and manufacturing facility, which was completed in Fall 2024.
The new facility allows Weidmuller USA to ramp up the engineering, assembly and manufacturing of Industry 4.0 products that are needed for U.S customers.
Over the past half century, Weidmuller USA has significantly broadened its product portfolio, which today includes more than 80,000 parts that can be tailored to specific customer applications. Currently, custom-designed solutions from Weidmuller USA increase efficiency and profitability for businesses in a wide array of industry sectors including renewable energy, oil and gas, data centers, food and beverage, intralogistics, machine design, appliance and HVAC, wiring and cable processing, and many more.
In addition to its pioneering leadership in developing IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and future-forward technologies, Weidmuller USA has earned regional and national accolades for its outstanding company culture of excellence, work-life balance, and employee engagement. The company has been recognized for three consecutive years (2022-2024) as a Top Workplace by the Richmond Times-Dispatch as well as being named a 2024 Top Workplace USA by USA Today,
