Spectrum Brands Holdings To Expand World Headquarters

The expanded space will accommodate new, multi-functional positions in administration, marketing and technology, the company says.

Spectrum Brands Holdings, global consumer products company and parent of such known automotive brands as STP and Armor All, has announced plans to expand capacity at its world headquarters building in Middleton, Wisconsin, to accommodate expected continued growth over the next several years.

Spectrum Brands - LogoThe 30,000-square-foot addition at the south end of the four-story, 220,000-square-foot world headquarters is scheduled to be complete in the spring of 2017 with groundbreaking set for next month. The expanded space will accommodate new, multi-functional positions in administration, marketing and technology, the company says.

In October 2013, the company moved into its more economical and energy-efficient global headquarters building that also houses several North American divisional operations, North American shared services and an expanded, state-of-the-art technology center to accelerate new product development for the global battery, personal care and home appliances businesses. The Middleton facility was built to accommodate as many as 675 positions, a capacity level that is now nearly reached.

“Since our origins 110 years ago as a battery manufacturer on Madison’s east side, our company has played a significant role as a major employer in Dane County and other parts of Wisconsin,” said Andreas Rouvé, CEO of Spectrum Brands Holdings. “We are pleased to further increase our long history of investment in Wisconsin, which adds to our nearly $100 million of direct economic impact on the state each year.”

In addition to its world headquarters in Middleton, Spectrum Brands maintains Wisconsin battery manufacturing plants in Fennimore, with 320 employees, and Portage, with 200 employees.
