Brownell Breaks Ground on New Manufacturing Facility

Brownell Boat Stands & Equipment, manufacturer of boat storage equipment, celebrating its 70th year in 2024, has broken ground on a new manufacturing facility and has signed a new partnership with P&D Marine Services in the UK. At almost 50,000 square feet, the new manufacturing facility, located in Dartmouth, MA, is 10% larger than Brownell’s current factory, which has served the company for all its seven decades of business. Not too far from the company’s current facility, this site will provide for an easy transition of the company’s existing, experienced staff.

Set for a January 2025 opening, the new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is designed for a more natural flow in the production process allowing Brownell to expedite workflow, improve efficiencies, maintain the company’s high-quality standards, and provide even better value to its customers. With these improvements, the new facility is planned to serve Brownell well for the next 70 years. Brownell also announced a deal with the company’s first-ever distributor in the United Kingdom, an exciting expansion into a new market. P&D Marine Services is Brownell’s first significant presence in the UK, and an example of the ever-increasing global footprint of the company. P&D Marine Services has a storied past almost as long as the Brownell brand with over 50 years in the industry.
