Analysis:
The new Harmonic Drive facility more than doubles the square footage of the location it replaced. Company representatives have stated that the new plant will allow it to increase its manufacturing capacity by several hundred percent, partially in anticipation of strong robotics sector growth. They also noted that the state-of-the-art site will allow Harmonic Drive to manufacture more e ciently, and thereby increase production capacity and lower overall costs. The state-ofthe- art facilities will also enable the company’s R&D engineering team to design, test, and deliver prototypes and products faster for both standard and custom-engineered systems. -Dan Kara
