After years of planning (and more than a few zoning meetings), Haas Automation is finally turning steel and concrete into what will be one of the largest manufacturing plants in Southern Nevada. Located just off Sloan Road near Interstate 15, this 2.3 million-square-foot behemoth is set to make Henderson a serious player in the high-tech machining game.
From Concept to Concrete
The project has been in the works since 2019, but pandemic delays and supply chain chaos slowed its start. Now? Cranes are up, walls are rising, and locals are watching a modern manufacturing marvel unfold in real time.
Why it matters: Haas Automation is one of the world’s biggest makers of CNC machines — precision equipment used in everything from aerospace to auto parts. This factory isn’t just big; it’s a game-changer for Nevada’s industrial footprint.
More Than Machines: Economic Impact Ahead
Once completed, the Henderson facility is expected to:
Create 2,500+ jobs across engineering, production, logistics, and support
Attract suppliers and support industries to the area
Pump major dollars into local housing, dining, and infrastructure
Offer career-path jobs beyond the Strip or service industry
One insider called it “the Tesla Gigafactory of CNC.” Not an exaggeration.
Big Steel Energy in the South Valley
Positioned near Henderson Executive Airport and just a short hop from the Raiders’ HQ, this location was no accident. Haas is betting on logistics, workforce talent, and a supportive local government. Plus, let’s be honest — it’s a great spot to grow a tech-forward manufacturing hub that’s not buried in the Vegas chaos.
The Bottom Line
Construction is underway. Jobs are coming. And Henderson — once known mostly for retirement communities and quiet suburbs — is now stepping onto the global manufacturing stage.
Keep your eyes on the skyline. The machines are coming. And with them, a new era for Southern Nevada.
