Racine Market
Racine is a manufacturing city anchored by SC Johnson — one of the largest private companies in America. The SC Johnson campus, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is both a corporate headquarters and a tourism draw. The company's presence supports a supply chain ecosystem of packaging, chemicals, and logistics businesses throughout the metro.
Case IH (CNH Industrial) and other agricultural equipment manufacturers have deep roots here. InSinkErator, Modine Manufacturing, and Twin Disc add to the industrial base. Lake Michigan's shoreline provides tourism and recreation revenue, and the harbor area is undergoing commercial redevelopment.
Racine offers extremely affordable commercial real estate for a city with Fortune 500 corporate headquarters. Manufacturers, contractors, and service businesses benefit from lower costs while maintaining access to the Milwaukee and Chicago labor markets. Downtown revitalization is creating new commercial opportunities.
