PULASKI, WI (WTAQ) – A Minnesota boat manufacturer is moving its operations to Pulaski.
Little Falls, Minnesota-based Larson Boat Group’s facilities are being closed down. Production is moving to Carver Yachts in Pulaski. Both companies are owned by Marquis.
“This decision is due to external, global economic influences including adverse economic dynamics and shifting changes within the marine market that require us to consolidate our company’s operations and footprint with our sister organization in Pulaski, Wisconsin to continue to be competitive in our ever changing industry,” Rob Parmentier, Larson Boat Group president and CEO, said in a news release.
Officials say Larson Boats’ Triumph brand will be discontinued, while Larson, Larson FX, Larson Escape and Striper models will now be built in Pulaski. The facility in Pulaski will not expand.
Every Larson Boat Group employee will be offered a job in Pulaski, the company says. It is unknown how many jobs will be coming to Pulaski, however.
The Minnesota facility is expected to shut down early next year.
