The 3M New Ulm Plant is a diversified manufacturing operation that provides products for a wide variety of markets and customers.  Our customers value our responsiveness to their needs and the quality we build into every product.  We do this with a highly skilled and dedicated workforce that continuously seeks out opportunities to grow and make improvements.

3M began operations in New Ulm when it purchased a 33,000 sq. ft. building on 60 acres in 1962. The first production line at this site made electrical connectors.

Over the years, we have constructed several additions to the facility and product lines have come and gone. Some of the products with a history in New Ulm (but no longer produced here) include copy machines, medical MRI imagers, medical bone saws and infusion pumps, audio and video tape recorders, and powdered epoxy resins.

Ability Building Community (ABC) is a Rochester-based nonprofit that has served individuals with disabilities in southeastern Minnesota since 1956. With nearly 70 years of experience, ABC supports more than 700 people across Rochester, Caledonia, and La Crescent through four core areas: employment services, day support, independent living assistance, and vocational training. Their employment programs range from job development and placement to long-term supported employment and community-based school employment — helping individuals find and keep meaningful work in their communities.

What sets ABC apart is their person-centered model. Every support plan is built around the individual — their goals, their preferences, and their voice. ABC also operates two community-facing businesses, The Protocult and Ability Built Computers, giving individuals real work experience in a supported environment. With CARF accreditation across multiple programs, ABC meets nationally recognized standards for employment and community services.
