Weidmuller USA Celebrates 50 Years of Growth and Innovation at U.S. Headquarters in Richmond, VA

January 10, 2025

In 1975, the Germany-based Weidmüller Group established a U.S. manufacturing headquarters in Chesterfield County, Virginia, a suburb of Richmond. Weidmuller USA is proud to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025, marking five decades as a pioneer of innovation in smart industrial connectivity and automation products and solutions.

A highlight of the company’s year-long commemoration of this 50 year milestone anniversary is a grand opening event in Spring 2025 of its 24,000 square-foot engineering and manufacturing facility, which was completed in Fall 2024.

The new facility allows Weidmuller USA to ramp up the engineering, assembly and manufacturing of Industry 4.0 products that are needed for U.S customers.

Over the past 50 years, Weidmuller USA has significantly broadened its product portfolio, which currently includes more than 80,000 parts that can be tailored to specific customer applications. Currently, custom-designed solutions from Weidmuller USA increase efficiency and profitability for businesses in a wide array of industry sectors including renewable energy, oil and gas, data centers, food and beverage, intralogistics, machine design, appliance and HVAC, wiring and cable processing, and many more.

In addition to its major role in developing IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and future-forward technologies, Weidmuller USA has earned regional and national accolades for its outstanding company culture of excellence, 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 fifty 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 fifty years and beyond.”
