The Faymonville Group has announced its first U.S. production facility in Little Rock, Arkansas, at a 22-hectare site in the Port of Little Rock. This new facility, spanning 38,000 square meters in Phase 1 and expanding to 58,000 square meters in Phase 2, will bring 500 new jobs to the area. With a projected investment of over €92 million, Faymonville’s entry into the U.S. is expected to create 389 additional indirect jobs and generate a €221 million economic impact.
Faymonville, a family-owned company in its seventh generation, has been delivering vehicles worldwide and values the U.S. market for its potential and straightforward regulatory landscape. CEO Alexander Fickers remarked, “We proudly delivered our first vehicle to the U.S. in 2016, and the country’s solution-driven mindset is highly appealing.” The company plans to manufacture components in Little Rock during Phase 1, with full in-house production and Cometto vehicle support to follow.
Introduced to Arkansas by Hale Trailer, the largest independent trailer dealer in North America, Faymonville’s leadership toured Little Rock with support from the Little Rock Regional Chamber and Arkansas Economic Development Commission. Meetings with Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and other key officials solidified the choice. Production is slated to begin by early 2026, with vehicles proudly labeled “Made in America.”
“Our new location offers exciting career opportunities in steel construction, surface treatment, assembly, and more, within a culture valuing pragmatism and direct communication,” said Lisa Faymonville, HR Manager.
