Dr. Harald Schwager, Chairman of the Administrative Board of KSB Management SE, and Dr. Stephan Timmermann, CEO of KSB Group, attended the opening ceremony in Henrico.
The expansion brings inventory, assembly and service for the North American market together at one location. It includes additional warehouse capacity with automated storage systems, new assembly and workshop areas, as well as space for maintenance and repair work by KSB SupremeServ.
The investment is designed to improve the availability of products and spare parts in North America while strengthening local service capabilities. Equipment can be assembled, tested and serviced in Henrico before being delivered to customers across the region.
“Henrico is an important milestone in our strategy to grow and strengthen our business in North America, with a clear focus on local presence and responsiveness to our customers’ needs,” said Dr. Stephan Timmermann, CEO of KSB Group. “This site brings together more of KSB’s products and services to better serve customers across the region. With our great local team working closely with colleagues around the world, I am confident that we can deliver exceptional value to our customers in the US market.”
Construction of the expansion began in January 2025 and was substantially completed in August 2026, on schedule and on budget. The site also features a rooftop solar array that supplies around half of the campus’s electricity needs, along with electric vehicle charging stations.
KSB has been headquartered in Henrico County since 1988. The expansion adds jobs in areas including mechanics, operations, supply chain, assembly and application engineering. The location near the Port of Virginia, major rail connections and Richmond International Airport provides access to key transport routes.
The investment is part of KSB’s Strategy 2030, which includes further growth in the United States.
