Hammond Power Solutions Boosts U.S. Footprint With New Texas Manufacturing Facility

By Robb M. Stewart

Hammond Power Solutions has leased a new manufacturing site in Texas as the Canadian provider of magnetic and power electronic solutions looks to beef up its capacity to service U.S. customers.

The push comes as demand for transformers continues to increase, particularly from large projects tied to data centers, electrification and power infrastructure. Hammond said the Fort Worth facility is located to improve proximity to key customers, shortening delivery distances for certain products.

Production at the site is expected to start in stages beginning in the fourth quarter of next year.

Once the initial production phase commences, the facility is expected to add about 250 million Canadian dollars ($178 million) of manufacturing capacity, based on anticipated demand, the company said. It added that it expects to invest about C$50 million to equip and commission the initial production phase, which it anticipates funding through its existing cash and credit facilities.

The facility was selected in part because of its potential to support additional capacity over time, Hammond said.

Subject to market demand, future capital investment and other factors, the site could support total annual manufacturing capacity of about C$400 million, it said.
