Frederick, Md. (October 3, 2014) STULZ Air Technology
Systems today announced the completion of the first phase of its planned
expansion to its existing US production facilities in Frederick, MD. STULZ
manufactures high-tech cooling solutions for mission critical applications and
data centers including a full line of energy efficient precision air
conditioners, outdoor air handlers, ultrasonic humidifiers, and desiccant
dehumidifiers.
“We are very
excited to announce this significant investment to expand our advanced
manufacturing capabilities in the United States on National Manufacturing Day,”
said STULZ Air Technology Systems President, Joerg Desler.
Although STULZ
is a global company that is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany it has maintained
a design and manufacturing infrastructure in Frederick, MD since 2001. “STULZ
is proud to design, and manufacture all of our products for North America here
in Frederick, MD,” Mr. Desler continued. “This investment demonstrates our
continued commitment to producing quality, high-tech mission critical cooling
solutions here in the USA.”
The expansion
includes the purchase of a 41,000 square foot building adjacent to the existing
facility. This new building will house a greatly expanded sheet metal
fabrication area and weld shop. In addition, two new powder coat lines are in
the process of being installed by a local vendor.
“Many people
do not realize the scope of our commitment to local design and manufacturing,” said
Mr. Desler. “It is an unfortunate yet common reality that many companies will
produce the majority of their components overseas and then claim to be ‘made in
America’ simply because the final assembly occurs domestically. At STULZ, we do
our own engineering, metal stamping, electrical wiring, powder coating,
controls programming, piping, and testing. To us, that is what ‘made in
America’ means.”
The existing STULZ
Air Technology Systems manufacturing facility will also see a portion of the
overall investment with expanded space for a growing line of outdoor air
handling units and large capacity perimeter cooling systems (the largest
capacity units commercially available). Overall, the expansion is expecting to
create more than 25 permanent US jobs in the Frederick, MD community.
According to
Mr. Desler, the motivation for the expansion is due to increased demand and
changing market conditions. “The mission critical cooling industry is becoming
more sophisticated and customers are demanding a greater spectrum of custom and
semi-custom solutions. By having direct control over our manufacturing process and
proximity to high-quality local suppliers, I feel that STULZ is better suited to
meet the needs of a changing market.”
