SC Johnson moving 170 employees to Racine area from Chicago for better collaboration
S.C. Johnson & Son Inc. is moving 170 employees to its Racine-area facilities from the company's Chicago office − a move it says will create better collaboration.
The move will occur in phases by the end of 2026, the company announced July 15. No jobs are being eliminated.
The shift is connected to organizational changes that took place 15 months ago, when SC Johnson established individual North America and international consumer brand business units.
'For almost 140 years, we've enjoyed being part of the Racine community, and proudly call it our home,' said Fisk Johnson, chairman and CEO, in a statement.
'This is an important change for our business given some recent organizational changes, and we look forward to welcoming even more SCJ people to the Racine area," Johnson said.
Employees will move into the former Educators Credit Union building, at 1326 Willow Road in Mount Pleasant, which the company bought in 2023.
It's next to two other company facilities, and is near the Waxdale manufacturing facility.
SC Johnson's longtime global headquarters remains in Racine, at 1525 Howe St.
It is among the largest companies based in Wisconsin and has roughly 2,000 employees in Racine County. It makes such cleaning products as Windex, Pledge, Glade and Scrubbing Bubbles.
The company will still operate a downtown Chicago office, with around 100 employees, along with a manufacturing site in the Pullman neighborhood.
