United States. To meet the growing demand for data center cooling, Munters opened a new factory for the production of advanced and energy-efficient cooling equipment, located in Virginia.
Munters is relocating operations from its buena vista, Virginia, plant to a new expanded facility with twice the manufacturing capacity in Daleville, Virginia.
"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," said Stefan Aspman, Group Vice President and Commercial President, Data Center Technologies.
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 refrigeration 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 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.
