In 1975, the Germany-based Weidmüller Group established a U.S. manufacturing headquarters in Chesterfield County, Virginia, a suburb of Richmond. Weidmuller USA celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025, marking five decades as a provider of industrial connectivity and automation products.
A highlight of the company’s year-long commemoration of this milestone anniversary is a grand opening event in the spring of 2025 of its 24,000-sq-ft engineering and manufacturing facility, which was completed in the fall of 2024.
The new facility allows Weidmuller USA to ramp up the engineering, assembly and manufacturing of Industry 4.0 products for U.S customers.
Over the past half-century, Weidmuller USA has broadened its product portfolio, which includes more than 80,000 parts that can be tailored to specific customer applications. Custom-designed products from Weidmuller USA are available for an array of industry sectors including renewable energy, oil and gas, data centers, food and beverage, intralogistics, machine design, appliance and HVAC and wiring and cable processing.
Weidmuller USA has earned regional and national accolades for its company culture, 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.
“Being a pioneer means reinventing yourself time and time again, and that’s a challenge Weidmuller USA has embraced for 50 years and counting,” said Randy Sadler, president & CEO of Weidmuller USA. “Our teams are passionate about products and solutions that enable digital transformation and growing an automation ecosystem that makes our solutions more flexible, open and future-proof for all industrial settings and IoT environments. We’re building on a proud legacy of innovation, resilience and top-tier customer service that has defined Weidmuller USA since 1975 and will enable the company to thrive for another 50 years and beyond.”
