Industrial automation company Rockwell Automation plans to build a new manufacturing facility in southeast Wisconsin, but has no specific location to share yet, Wisconsin Public Radio reports.

The facility will be more than 1 million square feet of factory and warehouse space. Rockwell said it would make the site the largest Rockwell manufacturing campus in the world.

Rockwell announced a five-year, $2 billion investment plan in domestic manufacturing earlier this year.

The company said the plant would be built close to its headquarters in Milwaukee.
