High product demand and limited space warranted additions in 1994, 1997 and 1999. Finally, the Virnig’s decided to build a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Rice, MN, in 2001. In 2010, an additional facility was constructed across the parking lot from their current shop to add more workspace. Then a 28,000 square foot expansion, which includes an automated wash bay and powder-coat paint system, was completed in 2014. Altogether the expansion grants more space for all facets of the company and provides a springboard for the future growth of Virnig Manufacturing.
Today, the facilities still encompass all aspects of the manufacturing process. From engineering and cutting raw materials to machining, welding, and painting, Virnig manufactures all of its skid steer attachments in-house. Although the company has grown substantially over the last 30 years, the mission of providing a high-quality, durable product has and will continue to be the same.
