Peloton Building a Dedicated Peloton Factory in the United States

Peloton Interactive Inc., New York, will break ground this summer on its first U.S. factory with plans to produce the Peloton Bike, Bike+ and Peloton Tread at the facility starting in 2023, the company announced on May 24.

Peloton will spend about $400 million to build the Peloton Output Park, which will be in Troy Township in Wood County, Ohio.

"We are thrilled to bring a good portion of our manufacturing to United States soil and proud that it will be in the great state of Ohio," Peloton's CEO and co-founder John Foley said in a media release. "While we will continue to invest in our Asian manufacturing footprint as well as our existing facilities in the U.S. via our Precor sites, the new Peloton Output Park gives us a massive strategic lever to make sure we have capacity, quality and economies of scale in our bike and tread product lines, to support our continued growth for years and years to come." 

The one million-square-foot manufacturing, office and amenity space will sit on more than 200 acres, making it one of the largest connected fitness manufacturing plants in the world, according to Peloton.  Peloton plans to incorporate renewable energy sources to power its operations.

"The pandemic has demonstrated the need to on-shore manufacturing and rebuild supply chains, and Peloton's decision to build its first North American manufacturing facility in Ohio is a great example of an American company stepping up and leading that effort," Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said. "Ohio is excited to partner with Peloton's forward-looking leadership team in developing a new, state-of-the-art facility using connective technology, and creating 2,174 new manufacturing jobs in Wood County."

With this new facility, Peloton will have more than one and a half million square feet of owned and leased manufacturing space inside the United States, including the Precor facilities in North Carolina and Washington state.

Over the next few years, Peloton expects to add more than 2,000 jobs to the Troy Township area across executive, managerial, and entry-level opportunities. Positions will span corporate, manufacturing, assembly and quality assurance functions.

In addition to the active manufacturing floor, Peloton has plans to build office space for new team members including a fitness center with the latest connected fitness equipment and a team lounge with room to collaborate.

Peloton Output Park will also be open to the Troy Township and larger Midwest community. The company plans to host facility tours and open an on-site showroom. Customers will also have the option to check out Peloton products first-hand.

Peloton's site selection in Troy Township is contingent upon final approvals from state and local officials.
