Properties, in its own words

The Company's Eau Claire facility is approximately 522,000 square feet, of which approximately 354,000 square feet is leased to Drylock Technologies, Ltd. Rely Innovations, Inc. rents approximately 8,000 square feet of the Eau Claire facility. The Company's corporate office occupies the balance of the space in Eau Claire. During 2018, the Company completed construction of a 30,000 square foot office building adjacent to its Eau Claire facility, which it also leases to Drylock Technologies, Ltd.

The Company's Nettleton facility, which was purchased on January 23, 2025, is approximately 507,000 square feet and will be used principally in the warehousing, distribution, and product service functions of the Housewares/Small Appliance and Safety segments. The Company plans for this facility to replace its two existing warehousing facilities located in Canton and Jackson, Mississippi. The Canton facility contains 255,000 square feet which is used primarily for warehousing and distribution and some activities for product service functions. The facility was sold on February 10, 2026 and subsequently leased back under a short term lease agreement, as the Company transitions all warehousing functions to the Nettleton facility. An additional 72,000 square feet has been leased in adjacent Canton buildings for warehousing. The Jackson facility contains 252,000 square feet, which the Company plans to divest as well.

The rest of Item 2

The Company has Defense segment manufacturing facilities located in Janesville and Antigo, Wisconsin; East Camden, Arkansas; Clear Lake, South Dakota; and Marshall, Texas. The Janesville, Wisconsin facility is comprised of approximately 131,000 square feet. The Antigo, Wisconsin facility is comprised of approximately 212,000 square feet, the East Camden, Arkansas operation leases approximately 384,000 square feet, the Clear Lake, South Dakota facility is comprised of approximately 124,000 square feet which includes the Company's 2021 construction of 10,000 square feet of office space, and the Marshall, Texas facility is comprised of approximately 77,000 square feet.

The Company's Safety segment leases space in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin; Chapel Hill, North Carolina; and Lisle, Illinois. OneEvent Technologies, Inc. leases approximately 4,300 square feet for its operations in Mount Horeb and Rely Innovations, Inc. leases approximately 4,300 and 5,600 square feet for its operations in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Lisle, Illinois, respectively.

The facilities in use for each of the Company’s business segments are believed to be adequate for their ongoing business needs.

Item 2 of the 10-K filed Mar 13, 2026.16

The story

The company is divided into three business segments (divisions), Housewares/Small Appliance; Defense; and Safety. The Housewares/Small Appliance segment "designs and sells small household appliances", including pressure cookers, under the Presto brand. The Defense segment produces ordnance and ammunition products. The Safety Segment consists of two startups. The first is Rusoh, Inc., which designs and markets the Rusoh® Eliminator® fire extinguisher, the first self-service fire extinguisher. The second is OneEvent Technologies, Inc. It offers systems that provide early warning of conditions that could ultimately lead to significant losses.

Having previously divested itself of almost all operations and having closed its defense operations in 1992, the company was a small household appliance seller. In 2001, with the purchase of AMTEC, the company returned to the defense business. In 2007, Presto won, in appeal, against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over investment status. The company does not have to register as a mutual fund.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks National Presto Industries names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 13, 2026: 18 risks under these headings, as written.16

  • Increases in the costs for raw materials, energy, transportation and other necessary supplies could adversely affect the results of the Company’s operations.
  • Reliance on third-party suppliers in Asia makes this segment vulnerable to supply interruptions and foreign business risks.
  • The Housewares/Small Appliance segment is dependent on key customers, and any significant decline in business from one or more of its key customers could adversely affect the segment’s operating results.
  • The sales for this segment are highly seasonal and dependent upon the United States retail markets and consumer spending.
  • The Company may not be successful in developing and introducing new and improved consumer products.
  • Product recalls or lawsuits relating to defective products could have an adverse effect on the Company, as could the imposition of industry sustainability standards.
  • The housewares/small appliance industry continues to consolidate, which could ultimately impede the Company’s ability to secure product placement at key customers.
  • The Company relies primarily on sales to U.S. Government entities, and the failure to procure or the loss of a significant contract or contracts could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
  • A decline in or a redirection of the U.S. defense budget could result in a material decrease in the Defense segment sales and earnings.
  • The Company may not be able to react to increases in its costs due to the nature of its U.S. Government contracts.
  • The Company’s U.S. Government contracts are subject to termination.
  • Failure of the Company’s subcontractors to perform their contractual obligations could materially and adversely impact contract performance.
The other 6 risks
  • U.S. Government contractors are subject to extensive laws and regulations applicable to the defense industry and the Company could be adversely affected by changes in and compliance with such laws and regulations, or any negative findings by the U.S. government regarding the Company’s compliance with them.
