Stratasys celebrates opening of Americas headquarters in Minnesota

Stratasys has celebrated the grand opening of its Americas Regional Corporate Headquarters (ARCH), a new 200,000 square foot facility in Minnetonka, Minnesota, underscoring the company’s continued commitment to the US market and to strengthening the high tech manufacturing capacity that will help define the future of industrial innovation in Minnesota.

The event brought together United States representative Betty McCollum; United States representative Brad Finstad; United States representative Kelly Morrison; Erin Streeter, executive vice president of National Association of Manufacturers; Scott Crump, inventor of Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and Stratasys board member, together with his wife Lisa Crump, co-founder of Stratasys in 1988; alongside Stratasys leadership, customers, partners, and community stakeholders, underscoring the critical role of additive manufacturing in strengthening regional economic development and industrial competitiveness.

United States congressman and house majority whip Tom Emmer said: ‘Stratasys is helping Minnesota lead in innovation and development as a global leader in additive manufacturing. With the grand opening of its new facility in Minnetonka comes good paying jobs and economic growth. The investments in the region are bringing hundreds of high skilled engineering, manufacturing, and technical jobs to Minnesota. I have been proud to support its work in the past and look forward to working with the company in the future.’

Erin Streeter, executive vice president of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), added: ‘Congratulations to Stratasys on today’s grand opening, an exciting milestone for manufacturing in Minnesota. This investment strengthens the region’s manufacturing capabilities, supports strong jobs, and expands opportunities for manufacturing workers. Additive manufacturing is helping drive the next era of American manufacturing, and Stratasys’ continued investment in Minnesota is a strong example of that progress.’

Dr Yoav Zeif, chief executive officer of Stratasys, commented: ‘This state of the art facility in Minnesota brings together our talent, technology, and the capabilities needed to innovate, collaborate, and help our customers accelerate additive manufacturing production at scale.’

ARCH brings together engineering, advanced research and development, applications expertise, and customer collaboration capabilities under one roof, along with Stratasys Direct, the company’s on-demand manufacturing business. Visitors to the facility can experience industrial scale 3D printing technologies in action and see how the company delivers production grade parts across aerospace, defence, automotive, healthcare, dental, and industrial applications.

‘Bringing our teams together under one roof has a meaningful impact on how we operate, innovate, and serve our customers,’ said Rich Garrity, chief business unit officer of Stratasys and NAM board member. ‘ARCH gives us the scale and workspace to accelerate collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, and customer facing teams, enabling faster delivery of high quality solutions.’

As part of its commitment to the local community, with the teams on-site for the event, Stratasys also highlighted its partnership with High Tech Kids and its support for First Robotics programmes in Minnesota, reinforcing its role in advancing STEM education and developing the next generation of engineers.

The opening of ARCH follows a recent independent audit of Stratasys’ environmental, health, and safety (EHS) management systems at the Minnetonka campus, which confirmed alignment with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards and recommended renewal of both certifications. This demonstrates the company’s ability to scale operations while maintaining rigorous global quality, compliance, and ESG practices.
