Fortune Brands Innovations Announces Expanded Deerfield Headquarters

Fortune Brands Innovations, an industry-leading innovation company dedicated to creating smart, safer and more beautiful homes and improving lives, announced this week it will consolidate and streamline its U.S. divisional headquarters operations into a single global headquarters in Deerfield. The company’s decision to grow in Illinois will deliver a world-class, collaborative office environment to fuel the company’s innovation, accelerate its digital solutions and grow its core products.

“We conducted a thorough, nationwide headquarters search before confirming Deerfield, Illinois as the most strategic location for our new, state-of-the-art campus, which will have capacity for over 1,000 associates by the end of 2027,” said Fortune Brands Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Fink. “Illinois is home to one of the strongest professional labor forces in the nation, which is exactly what we need as we unify our associates in one location and continue to innovate for accelerated growth. The deep talent pool and competitive incentives package from the State of Illinois were critical factors in our decision.”

“Fortune Brands Innovations has made a name for itself in Deerfield, and the State’s EDGE incentive package is supporting the company’s long-term growth in Illinois as it expands its headquarters,” said DCEO Director Kristin Richards. “Illinois’ competitive business attraction incentives, world-class workforce and strategic location in the Middle of Everything are just a few of the many reasons businesses choose to locate or expand in our great state.”

Bolstered by EDGE incentives, Fortune Brands Innovations selected Illinois to locate and expand its global headquarters after considering locations in a variety of other states.

As part of the State’s comprehensive incentive package, Fortune Brands Innovations received an EDGE tax credit, and has committed to making a significant investment, creating at least 400 new full-time jobs and retaining the 128 full-time jobs located in Deerfield at the time of the EDGE agreement application. In calendar year 2024, companies in the EDGE program committed more than $650 million in investments in Illinois communities across the state.

“I am excited to see Fortune Brands expand its footprint in Deerfield and look forward to their continued growth in the Village,” said Deerfield Mayor Daniel C. Shapiro.
