DMG Mori Will Relocate U.S. HQ to Bronzeville

Following a meeting with Mayor Rahm Emanuel during the mayor’s recent trade mission to Japan, DMG MORI said it will relocate its North American headquarters to Chicago. The company is working with the Illinois Institute of Technology to identify space on and near the school’s Bronzeville campus for the company to move into and build a product showroom.

“Manufacturing is written in Chicago’s DNA, and today the sector is running on all cylinders,” Emanuel said. “Thanks to world-class institutions like Illinois Tech, and global companies like DMG MORI, we are creating jobs today while ensuring the future of manufacturing in Chicago is even stronger than its past.”

The move is driven by DMG Mori’s desire to interact with faculty and recruit talent from Illinois Tech. The company is currently headquartered in Hoffman Estates, IL, where approximately 225 employees are located.
