Press Release | December 18, 2025
Firematic Summary
Pierce connected multiple facility and technology projects under a larger manufacturing investment program. The announcement references more than $150 million across Wisconsin, Florida, and Tennessee, approximately $60 million invested at that time, 500,000 square feet of added facility space, and 800 new American workers over several years.
The umbrella announcement
This article is the broadest snapshot of the expansion program. It connects machinery, building space, staffing, paint, parts, chassis flow, and quality control into one manufacturing modernization story.
Fabrication and automation
New cutting, bending, folding, welding, and sanding technologies are designed to make parts more accurate and repeatable before they move downstream. Precision early in production helps reduce rework later.
Lead-time recovery
Pierce stated that lead times had already improved by more than three months from their peak. The broader program is intended to continue that progress while maintaining custom apparatus quality.
