Rotochopper Inc. has completed the expansion project at its headquarters city, St. Martin, Minnesota, including a portion of the space hosting its new Research and Development Innovation Center.

Regarding its new R&D capabilities, Rotochopper says it marks a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation, customer-focused solutions and growth.

The entire 12,000-square-foot expansion includes additional production space that Rotochopper says will significantly increase its manufacturing capabilities, plus additional office space.

The R&D-focused square footage “will allow Rotochopper’s engineering and R&D teams to continue driving innovation, ensuring they remain at the forefront of technological advancements,” the company says.

Rotochopper says its status as a factory-direct company gives it a deep understanding of the unique challenges its customers face, and this R&D space will be essential in creating the tailored solutions that businesses need.

"The new R&D space not only accelerates our innovation efforts, but also creates an environment where our team can develop fresh ideas and bring cutting-edge technologies to life," Rotochopper CEO Tosh Brinkerhoff says. "This expansion aligns with our mission to continually introduce new products to the market, helping our customers become more productive and profitable.”
