Lu-Ve to expand US manufacturing site

USA: Heat exchanger product manufacturer Lu-Ve has broken ground on the 19,000m2 extension of its factory in Jacksonville, Texas.

This expansion is designed to accelerate the localised development of dry coolers for data centres and power generation.

Shipments to Lu-Ve USA customers will start in Q1 of 2026 with a focus on dry and adiabatic fluid coolers, gas coolers, and condensers. This will be followed in Q4 2026 with a full range of Industrial evaporators for ammonia and other industrial refrigerants.

“This marks an important step for Lu-Ve Group. Ever since we entered the North American market, we have been steadily growing our business presence and market share,” said Lu-Ve North America MD Ronald Bekker. “This investment will enable us to accelerate our growth and provide world-class service to our existing and future US customer base with innovative, sustainable and efficient products designed in Italy and made right here in USA.”
