INNIO to Invest $300 Million to Expand Waukesha Engine Campus

The company says the build will add assembly and an 80,000-square-foot testing center to speed deliveries for data centers while using a conditional $6 million WEDC tax credit.

Overview

INNIO announced Wednesday that it plans to invest $300 million at its Waukesha, Wisconsin campus to add engine assembly, an advanced testing facility of roughly 80,000 square feet, and to create about 500 jobs over the coming years.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation has offered a conditional $6 million state income tax credit that requires INNIO to meet stated investment and job-creation targets before credits are awarded.
INNIO frames the expansion as a response to rising U.S. demand for dependable, decentralized power from data centers and other critical users and says local production and testing will shorten lead times for customers.
Local officials and business groups highlighted the job and training opportunities for assembly, engineering, machining, maintenance, and warehouse roles in a county that already hosts about 1,000 manufacturers.
The plan is at the announced-commitment stage with no public construction start date, permitting milestones, or phased hiring timetable disclosed and the Waukesha site will join INNIO’s U.S. network that includes Trenton, New Jersey and Waller, Texas.
