FMG employees more than 2,500 in the U.S., and is creating an additional 1,000 jobs over the next two years in support of the $5.5.B contract to build the new class of frigates for the U.S. Navy. Fincantieri Marine Group is comprised of three Wisconsin shipyards, an office in Green Bay (WI), an office in Virginia, offices in Florida, and a corporate headquarters in Washington D.C. Fincantieri employs more than 1,000 engineers worldwide, including over 100 in the United States. The company has a wide portfolio of proven ship designs, including those of VARD Marine, a recent Fincantieri acquisition, specializing in the offshore supply and support market. Fincantieri has recently completed a $300 million capital expansion program for its U.S. shipyards; including additional computer-aided ship manufacturing equipment, new climate-controlled facilities and a U.S. Navy-certified floating dry-dock. FMG is also adamant that sustainability will be a factor in all activities, much like it is with the parent company, Fincantieri S.p.A.. Two of the Wisconsin shipyards recently received “Green Marine” certification. These improvements have transformed FMG into a shipbuilding powerhouse, uniquely positioned to provide cost-effective solutions to new construction, repair and conversion challenges for both government and commercial markets.
