Dr. Masahiko Mori, president of Mori Seiki, Thomas R. Dillon, president of Mori Seiki U.S.A., Koji Okura, president of Mori Seiki Americas, and other dignitaries broke ground for the new 102,000ft2 American corporate headquarters and showroom. The new office headquarters and fully-featured showroom will be situated on a 7.5-acre site in Hoffman Estates, IL.

The new Mori Seiki U.S.A. Inc. headquarters will provide more than 59,000ft2 of Class A office space together with a fully featured 42,560ft2 showroom and will house offices for its American headquarters, the Chicago Technical Center, MTL (Machining Technology Laboratory), and MSU (Mori Seiki University).

"The expansion of Mori Seiki's headquarters is a natural extension of the company's continued success," Dillon says. "Enhancing our headquarters' presence in Chicago illustrates our commitment to the rapid growth of Mori Seiki University and to the increased support of the American market."

The striking architecture of the headquarters facility includes an attractive design of energy-efficient precast exterior wall panels highlighted by grey-tinted window lines throughout the facility. The headquarters will also feature two 25-ton cranes and a one-ton utility crane to facilitate the positioning and operation of Mori Seiki's expansive product line of machine tools. moriseikius.com
