Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn said it would establish its North American corporate headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, following the purchase of a building in the city's downtown area.
In a statement, Foxconn said more than 500 people would work at the seven-story building in downtown Milwaukee.
The announcement comes almost a year after the company disclosed plans to invest $10 billion over four years to build a 20 million-square-foot LCD panel plant in Wisconsin that could eventually employ up to 13,000 people.
Taiwan-based Foxconn, known formally as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., is the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer and employs more than a million people.
