MARION, Wis. — June 18, 2026 — Marion Body Works proudly celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its new corporate headquarters, representing a continued history of growth, innovation, and carrying on investments in its employees, customers, and community.
While Marion Body Works has been building quality products since 1905, the construction of its current headquarters represented a pivotal moment in the company’s history. Designed to support future expansion and operational efficiency, the facility has played a critical role in helping Marion Body Works evolve from a long-standing manufacturer into one of the leading companies in the region.
Over the past decade, the new headquarters has served as the foundation for significant milestones, including workforce growth, expanded manufacturing capabilities, enhanced customer experiences, and continued investments in technology and innovation. In that time, the company expanded to an additional production facility in Shawano, WI, has been recognized as Manufacturer of the Year by Shawano Country Chamber, and was named one of Insight Magazines Fastest Growing Companies. The facility has also allowed Marion Body Works to maintain its reputation as a pillar within the community, providing employment for families, career exploration opportunities for students, and investing in organizations that strengthen the communities where its employees live and work.
“While our legacy dates back more than 120 years, this building represents a major event in our company’s growth story,” said Kevin Ignacio, President of Marion Body Works. “The vision behind this facility was to create a space that would set us apart as an employer of choice in the area, and over the last 10 years it has done exactly that. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished here, more than doubling our workforce and customer-base in size.”
Since opening its doors in 2016, the headquarters has welcomed customers, dealers, community members, and employees from across the country. It has become a symbol of Marion Body Works’ commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and continuous improvement while honoring the values that have guided the company since its founding.
As Marion Body Works celebrates this milestone, the company remains focused on building for the future while continuing to deliver the quality, reliability, and customer service that have defined the organization for generations.
