To help maintain its position as the
world’s leading marine engine manufacturer, Mercury Marine is investing
$US20 million ($A19.2 million) to further develop facilities at its
headquarters in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA.
Two major
construction projects are at the heart of the development, which will
deliver significant improvements across a range of important areas.
'It’s all about growth and commitment to technology and product development,' said Mark Schwabero, President of Mercury Marine.
The
investment will see an enhanced capacity in Mercury’s product
development, engineering, component manufacturing and fabrication.
Product
testing is another area to benefit, with Mercury Diesel products being
accommodated along with sterndrive and inboard engines.
'All of
which will help keep Mercury at the forefront of boating – delivering
better products which out-perform and out-last the competition – and
that will make our dealers stronger across the ANZP region,' said John
Temple, Mercury’s General Manager for the Australia, New Zealand and
Pacific region.
At the ground breaking ceremony, Mr Schwabero
used the same shovel which broke the ground when the Fond du Lac plant
was originally built almost 50 years ago.
It’s expected the new facilities will be fully operational by the end of 2013.
