Nationwide 360
Nationwide 360, a full-service design and fabrication company, has been a leader in trade show exhibits and immersive brand experiences for nearly 70 years. Originally founded as Westley Displays in 1956, the company evolved into Nationwide Displays in 1989 and rebranded as Nationwide 360 in 2023. Headquartered in Central Islip, the company is now preparing for its next stage of growth.
With increasing demand for custom trade show displays and brand activations, Nationwide 360 is expanding its operations and upgrading its production capabilities. The company is relocating its headquarters from Central Islip to a 75,000-square-foot facility at 40 Adams Avenue in Hauppauge, consolidating its operations into one space to improve efficiency and better serve its clients. This $18.8 million investment includes facility renovations, new equipment such as water-jet lasers, saws, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machinery, and upgraded infrastructure to support future growth.
The project will retain 33 full-time jobs with average salaries exceeding $91,000 and create 10 additional positions, bringing total payroll to more than $3.7 million. Nationwide 360 had considered relocating to the South to reduce costs, but with support from the Suffolk IDA, the company is staying, expanding, and adding jobs on Long Island.
To support this expansion, the Suffolk IDA authorized:
- Sales tax exemptions
- Property tax abatements
- Mortgage tax exemptions
- Connections to business resources
We are extremely thankful for the support and guidance of the Suffolk IDA. From our inception, we have consistently progressed and extended our presence in the region. The demand for our services has risen post-COVID, and we aim to meet the growing needs of Long Island businesses with this investment. The assistance from the Suffolk IDA is critical in Nationwide 360 meeting its set business goals.
By relocating to Hauppauge, Nationwide 360 is reinforcing its role as a major contributor to the regional economy. The company remains committed to the Long Island First policy, prioritizing local vendors and workforce development.
The Suffolk IDA works with businesses of all sizes to drive economic growth, create jobs, and encourage investment in Long Island. Through financial incentives and strategic partnerships, the agency helps companies expand, relocate, and modernize their operations while strengthening the regional economy.
