Faymonville breaks ground on first US facility

The Faymonville Group has broken ground on the site for its first U.S. production facility in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Luxembourg-based specialized heavy-duty trailer manufacturer recently reported.

“This milestone in the United States marks our first production site outside Europe and represents another strong step toward our long-term goals,” the company said in a statement. “It’s a clear sign that we’re committed, we’re growing, and we deliver on what we promise. We’re excited to establish a new home in the United States and proud to continue our international journey.

“As a family-owned company, one thing remains true across all our sites: We consistently invest in people, technology, and the future — with passion and purpose.”

The 54-acre site, located at the Port of Little Rock, provides access to major interstates, Class I railroads, navigable waterways, and a national airport. The production site covers 409,000-square-feet in Phase 1. In Phase 2, the area will expand to 624,000-square-feet.

Once fully developed, the project will create 500 jobs, according to the company. Faymonville intends to invest more than $100 million.

The Faymonville Group is a family-owned company now in its 7th generation, where a dedicated team—the "Faymily"—of 1,400 people operates across four locations in Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, and Italy. Together, they produce approximately 3,000 units annually. Their vehicles are delivered to 125 countries, generating a revenue of around $500 million in 2023.

With their three vehicle brands, MAX Trailer, Faymonville, and Cometto, the Faymonville Group builds semi-trailers, low-loaders, modular vehicles, and self-propelled trailers that are used to transport anything exceptionally heavy, long, wide, or tall. The brand portfolio includes transport solutions for payloads from 16.5 U.S. tons to 27.5 U.S. tons and beyond.
