Milwaukee Tool to expand corporate operations

Milwaukee Tool has announced the expansion of its corporate operations into downtown Milwaukee. Its current global headquarters in Brookfield, Wis., will remain the central location for the company’s corporate operations.

The company will invest more than $30 million to purchase and renovate a vacant 333,000-sq.-ft. building in downtown Milwaukee. Scheduled to open in October, the building is expected to house 1,200 employees within the next three years, and the company has an option to expand the office space by adding 150,000 sq. ft. for up to 790 additional employees.
