Fortune Brands opens new campus headquarters in Deerfield
Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc., an industry leader in home, security and digital products, has opened its new headquarters in Deerfield.
The campus at 1 Horizon Way, north of Lake-Cook Road and west of interstates 94 and 294, now houses more than 500 associates, mostly new hires.
“Bringing our people together at one state-of-the-art campus is attracting top talent and building momentum in the business,” said Fortune Brands CEO Nicholas Fink. “With our teams’ added ability to instantly collaborate across brands and functions, decisions are faster, engagement is higher, and we are gaining speed.”
Since announcing plans for its new campus in January, Fortune Brands has hired more than 400 associates for the Deerfield site. The company continues to hire workers and has the flexibility to adjust its hiring as needed in evolving macro-economic conditions, officials said.
Its campus consists of three towers, of which two will be occupied by Fortune Brands, with the third remaining home to Amgen. FBIN associates have moved into one of the towers and will expand into the second tower early next year. By the end of 2027, Fortune Brands will have the capacity to support more than 1,000 professional associates at its headquarters.
The company’s growth and investment in the community was incentivized with annual tax credits through Illinois’ Economic Development for a Growing Economy (EDGE) program.
“We were fortunate to find a modern campus in an ideal location that already had innovative and fun spaces that just needed our branded touch,” said Fortune Brands Chief Human Resources Officer Kristin Papesh. “The result is a space designed to dream and build. The atmosphere here is vibrant, unified, and energizing — a complete shift from our former spaces.”
The new headquarters boasts modern work areas, including industrial design spaces and a large variety of collaboration spaces. Campus amenities include a fitness center, cafe, coffee bar, basketball and pickleball court, on-site day care and a bowling alley.
Over the last several years, Fortune Brands has invested in digital capabilities and connected products for commercial and residential use, from smart water leak detection to smart residential locks and workplace safety and security solutions.
The company continues to invest in its leading brands and core products. The new headquarters will facilitate cross-pollination of ideas across brands, products and applications that help spark innovation, officials said.
“We are charting a new path where innovation isn’t confined to our products, but is infused in how our people work, collaborate and grow,” Fink said. “I can’t wait to see that vision continue to come to life in our new space.”
