FNA GROUP ANNOUNCES RELOCATION OF CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS TO PLEASANT PRAIRIE
MANUFACTURING COMPONENT RELOCATED FROM ARKANSAS
During December of 2014, plans were approved for the FNA Group to occupy a 176,433 square foot building constructed by Zilber Property Group at 7152 99th Street in LakeView Corporate Park. The FNA Group is a manufacturer of gas and electric pressure washers.
The company relocated a portion of its Arkansas operations to Pleasant Prairie and began manufacturing high-pressure hose and distributing pressure washer parts from its new location in early 2015. The company also planned to establish research and development/engineering functions in Pleasant Prairie and initially announced the creation of approximately 100 jobs.
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS RELOCATED FROM ILLINOIS
In early May, the FNA Group made a formal announcement that it will also relocate its corporate headquarters from Illinois (Elk Grove Village) to Pleasant Prairie. The company indicated that the move would offer easy transportation routes within the Chicago/Milwaukee corridor and placed them closer to primary business partner Briggs & Stratton.
The FNA Group currently employes 180 people from their Pleasant Prairie location. The facility operates 24 hours per day, Monday through Friday. The company projects employment to reach 225 people within one year.
