Munters expands data centre cooling factory

USA: Swedish air treatment and climate solutions company Munters has inaugurated its expanded data centre cooling factory in Daleville, Virginia. 

With additional space for manufacturing, training and testing, the investment enables Munters to produce customised cooling solutions at scale and contribute to a resource-efficient build-out of digital infrastructure.

With close to 600 current employees and a site covering 52,000 m², The Daleville campus is the largest of Munter’s five sites dedicated to the manufacture of data centre cooling technology. 

It produces all of the products in Munters’ data centre cooling portfolio, including air-side economisers, SyCool Split, computer room AHUs, fan coil arrays, coolant distribution units, and now also chillers.

The expanded site also houses the Munters Service Academy, new production test stands and a chiller laboratory with an advanced environmental chamber. 

The expansion of the Daleville facility has enabled Munters to launch local manufacturing of chillers, a product which the company acquired with the purchase of Italian chiller manufacturer Geoclima in 2024.
