Cybex International, Inc. will host a groundbreaking ceremony for a new 36-acre office and manufacturing facility in Owatonna, Minnesota.

CYBEX has chosen First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. as developer for the project. Ed Kurzontkowski, CYBEX Senior Vice President of Manufacturing and Engineering stated, “The expansion of CYBEX manufacturing capabilities is necessary to support the recent demands on the current facility, which are largely due to the volume of new products such as VR3 and Eagle, as well as the Company’s award winning Arc Trainer. We are confident that with First Industrial’s experience and the support from the Owatonna community, this new manufacturing facility will play a vital role in the growth and development of both CYBEX and the local community.”

CYBEX is committed to staying in Owatonna and sustaining their current workforce. “The Company’s growth is a testament to the hard work and dedication of its employees. The reputation of CYBEX and the quality of our premium products is built into each machine by our employees. Our manufacturing processes, superior technology and custom-built fitness products will continue to exceed the demands of the industry, as CYBEX remains a market leader,” said John Aglialoro, CYBEX Chairman and CEO.

Ed Kurzontkowski, CYBEX, stated, “We are pleased with the support and alliance we have received from the City of Owatonna, the Mayor and the Owatonna Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism.”
