Hammond Power Solutions expanding in Texas amid demand from data centre projects
Hammond Power Solutions Inc. has agreed to a long-term lease for a new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. This decision comes in response to the escalating demand for data centre projects. The company, based in Ontario, plans to use this new facility to bolster its capacity for serving U.S.-based customers.
CEO Adrian Thomas revealed that the demand for transformers, the primary products of Hammond Power Solutions, has been on the rise. This growth is particularly evident in large-scale projects related to data centres, electrification, and power infrastructure. To meet this demand, Hammond Power Solutions intends to invest approximately $50 million for the initial setup and commissioning of the manufacturing facility.
According to the company's estimates, the new location should kickstart production in stages starting from the fourth quarter of 2027. Upon the commencement of production, the facility is expected to contribute an additional annual manufacturing capacity of around $250 million, contingent upon the anticipated demand.
