Physik Instrumente to Open Shrewsbury Production Facility in Fall 2025
Physik Instrumente (PI), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning systems, has announced the scheduled completion of its new state-of-the-art production facility in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts by fall 2025. Spanning 140,000 square feet, the new facility will triple the combined footprint of PI’s current New England locations in Auburn, Hopkinton, and Nashua.
The Shrewsbury plant will house the manufacturing of high-precision motion and automation systems, air bearings, piezoelectric transducers, and nanopositioning components. This expansion is part of PI’s strategic efforts to improve responsiveness to market demands and shorten lead times for its U.S. customer base.
Headquartered in Germany, PI noted that the new Massachusetts facility will also generate high-quality engineering and technology jobs, contributing to the growth of the Boston region’s advanced manufacturing industry.
“By localizing production, PI aims to insulate its operations from the volatility of international trade policies and import tariffs, ensuring stable pricing and supply for its customers,” the company said. “This move also aligns with broader industry trends, as companies increasingly seek to mitigate tariff impacts by reshoring manufacturing operations.”
