Physik Instrumente Will Open Shrewsbury Production Facility in Fall 2025

PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning systems, announced fall 2025 completion for its new production facility in Shrewsbury, MA. The forthcoming 140,000-square-foot facility will triple the combined space of PI’s current New England locations in Auburn, MA, Hopkinton, MA and Nashua, NH. 

The Shrewsbury plant will manufacture precision motion and automation systems, air bearings, piezoelectric transducers and nanopositioning components. The initiative aims to enhance PI’s responsiveness to market demands and reduce lead times for American clients.

Germany-based PI said its new Massachusetts engineering and manufacturing facility is also set to create high-quality engineering and technology jobs, bolstering the Boston region’s advanced manufacturing sector.

“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,” PI said. “This move also aligns with broader industry trends where companies are seeking to mitigate tariff impacts by reshoring manufacturing operations.”
