Munters opens new factory for climate control equipment for data center cooling
To meet the growing demand for data center cooling, Munters is today opening a new factory for production of advanced and energy-efficient cooling equipment in Virginia, USA.
Munters is relocating operations from its plant in Buena Vista, Virginia, to a new, expanded facility with twice the manufacturing capacity in Daleville, Virginia.
“The demand for innovative and sustainable data center cooling is expected to remain strong. I am very excited about our new factory that gives us the infrastructure we need to continue to provide world-class, energy-efficient solutions to our customers,” says Stefan Aspman, Group Vice President and President of the Data Center Technologies business area.
The new 365,000 ft2 (34,000 m2) manufacturing facility is Munters' largest plant in the Americas. The factory will increase the production capacity of cooling and humidity control equipment and add more than 150 jobs.
"The new modern factory will offer the best possible working environment for our employees. It is designed with Munters' net-zero emissions target in mind. The upcoming installation of solar panels on the roof, which is estimated to cover a large part of the daily energy consumption, is an example of this," says Stefan Aspman.
Munters' business area Data Center Technologies specializes in advanced climate cooling solutions using a wide range of heat rejection technologies. As a leading supplier, with a diversified product portfolio and extensive application knowledge, Munters create sustainable climate solutions for data center operators worldwide.
