Pontoon builder Premier Marine recently opened new corporate offices and manufacturing headquarters in Big Lake, Minn.

The 150,000-square-foot facility is built on an 85-acre parcel of land and has the capacity to produce up to 5,000 boats a year, according to the company.

Since being acquired by Envision Company in spring 2021, the company has experienced a significant makeover with extensive new hiring and leadership changes, including naming Matt Homan as CEO in January.

“First and foremost, this new facility really shows how much this company values its employees,” Homan said in a statement. “We wanted a facility with world-class manufacturing capabilities, but we also wanted a work environment that was safer, offered vastly improved amenities, and a place we’re all proud to call home.”

According to Premier, the new facility, “features a throughput manufacturing design that starts with raw materials at one end and a finished and rigged pontoon at the other. With 32-foot ceilings, dedicated forklift lanes, a combination of LED and natural lighting, enhanced air filtration and circulation, and modern equipment including state-of-the-art powder coating, every aspect of the manufacturing space is focused on safety, efficiency, and comfort.”
