Foxconn Hires 3 Wisconsin Contractors For $10 Billion Plant

RACINE COUNTY, WI — Foxconn Technology Group says it has selected M+W Gilbane, CH2M, and The Sigma Group to serve as the lead contractors and designers for its $10 billion display manufacturing campus planned for Racine County.

The three companies are scheduled begin to work within the next 60 days to hire construction workers to support phase one of the project.

“Together, these three companies form a great team, and they will serve as instrumental local partners as Foxconn starts the construction of our advanced display manufacturing campus and science and technology park,” said Louis Woo, Special Assistant to the Founder and CEO of Foxconn. “Each company has a track record of excellence and a commitment to quality that will help us take advantage of the talented and hard-working workforce in Wisconsin.”

M+W Gilbane will provide services as the Professional Construction Manager. They will provide a range of pre-construction services, from budget and bid development to construction management programs and the start of earth-moving activities. M+W Gilbane will begin issuing bid requests in the next several weeks.

CH2M Companies, Ltd. will provide comprehensive engineering and architecture services including planning and environmental permitting for the project.

The Sigma Group will provide the project with a range of environmental consulting and engineering services relating to permitting, planning and site design.

Foxconn’s advanced display manufacturing campus will produce state-of-the-art displays which will be used in a wide range of devices and solutions, from the latest generation televisions to self-driving cars, and aircraft systems, among others.

The Wisconsin campus will also serve as a science and technology park to promote research and development in advanced technologies in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), Big Data, Internet of Things, and robotics and automation. This will lay the foundation for the AI 8K+5G ecosystem that Foxconn is creating in the United States, and provide a platform for the development of next-generation hardware and solutions as part of that ecosystem.
