With the completion of a $33.5 million, 150,000-square-foot addition to its Owatonna Cybex facility in February, parent company Life Fitness brought the size of the manufacturing plant to 490,000 square feet.

The addition to the 10-year-old plant ultimately will bring with it more than 100 new jobs in welding, fabrication, powder coat painting and assembly. The facility had about 300 workers before the addition. Some 200 fitness products, including the Cybex Arc Trainer, are produced there.

We are thrilled to celebrate the completed expansion to the Cybex facility in Owatonna, said Scott Darsow, vice president of global manufacturing for Life Fitness in a company news release. This expansion is our second in Minnesota in two years, and we produce more products in the state than anywhere in the world.

With this expansion, were underscoring our commitment to growing our global manufacturing footprint and to growth in the local community.

The city of Owatonna is providing tax increment financing of almost $1.4 million for the project. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development made grants of $850,000 for job development and capital investment.

The expansion cost $11 million for construction and $22.5 million for equipment. The architect was Mohagen Hansen Architecture/Interior, Wayzata, and the contractor was Bauer Design Build, Plymouth.

Life Fitness other plant in Minnesota is in Ramsey, where more than 140 products are manufactured. A 50,000-square-foot expansion brought the plant to 333,000 square feet in March 2016. About 460 people work there.
