Power Test, LLC, a global leader in dynamometer and transmission testing equipment, today announced a significant capital investment to upgrade and enhance manufacturing capabilities at its 115,000-square-foot facility in Sussex, Wisconsin.

Power Test’s portfolio includes industry-leading names such as SuperFlow, Taylor Dynamometer, Dyne Systems, Aidco, Hicklin, Axiline, TCRS, and StuskaDyno. The consolidation will bring together operations previously based in Sussex, WI; Milwaukee, WI; and Colorado Springs, CO.

The project, scheduled to begin in June 2025, focuses on three key areas:

• Capacity Expansion – The Sussex facility will increase its production capacity by 40%, enabling faster lead times and supporting continued market growth.
• Optimized Production Flow – A redesigned plant layout will streamline operations from raw materials to finished products. Key upgrades include relocating value streams for improved material flow, along with investments in new CNC machinery and advanced manufacturing equipment.
• Facility Consolidation and Brand Integration – The centralizing of operations in Sussex, WI will foster a unified “One Power Test” culture and enhanced collaboration across all brands.

“Upgrading our manufacturing and assembly capabilities, optimizing plant flow, and ensuring we have the capacity to meet growing demand will deliver significant benefits to both our employees and customers,” said Chad Schwebke, General Manager of the Industrial and Performance Divisions. “Creating a world-class, flagship location in Sussex, WI allows us to leverage the synergies of our talented workforce and powerful brand portfolio.”
