LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Mar. 11, 2026) — Faymonville Group has reached a major construction milestone at its new manufacturing facility in Little Rock, marking the steel topping out of the company’s first production operation in the United States.
The project represents an investment of more than $100 million and reinforces the Port of Little Rock’s growing role as a logistics and advanced manufacturing hub. Once operational, the facility will support the company’s expansion strategy in North America, producing specialized transport vehicles tailored to U.S. market demand.
Located on a 54-acre site at the Port of Little Rock, the facility currently encompasses approximately 409,000 square feet, with plans to expand to 624,000 square feet in Phase 2 of development.
Company leadership said the new plant will play a key role in strengthening its regional manufacturing presence and enhancing collaboration with customers across North America.
“Our new site in Little Rock represents a major milestone as we continue to grow our presence in the U.S. market,” said Alexander Fickers, CEO of Faymonville Group. “This facility will enable us to produce vehicles locally while continuing to introduce innovative transport solutions.”
Construction of the facility is being developed in partnership with Isom Company, with completion and the start of operations anticipated by the second quarter of 2026.
The steel topping out ceremony brought together company representatives, construction partners, and regional economic development leaders to mark progress on the project.
Regional officials noted that the investment highlights continued international interest in Arkansas as a location for advanced manufacturing and global supply-chain operations.
Faymonville initially announced plans for the Little Rock facility in October 2024. The company is expected to hire for a range of manufacturing, technical and operational roles as the facility moves toward completion.
Faymonville Group is a global manufacturer specializing in specialized transport solutions, with operations supporting industrial, logistics and heavy-haul applications worldwide.
