Race to Decarbonize HVAC Drives Rapid Expansion of Manufacturing Facilities
NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - XNRGY one of the largest custom air handling manufacturers in North America, is reaching another milestone in expansion. Growing exponentially due to high demand for their premier climate technologies, XNRGY is pleased to announce the construction of a new cutting-edge manufacturing facility in the Greater Phoenix Area, AZ, which will be designated as their headquarters.
"Sustainability and environmental impact are more important than ever, as we race against the clock to save our planet. This is an important mission for each one of us. I have set a personal challenge for XNRGY to meet the requirements of the Paris Climate Accord by 2030, 20 years ahead of schedule. Through innovation, design, and manufacturing, we will provide impactful systems and achieve this goal of reducing building energy and water consumption."

Chairman and CEO - XNRGY Climate Systems
This state-of-the-art 1,000,000-square-foot factory will increase XNRGY's manufacturing footprint by a factor of eight. With the Arizona facility, XNRGY's total manufacturing capacity will increase to 1,250,000-square-feet including Montreal's expansion to a 250,000-square-foot facility.
"We are grateful XNRGY has chosen Arizona as the site of its U.S. headquarters," said Governor Doug Ducey. "XNRGY's investment strengthens Arizona's supply chain and shows once again there is no better state for advanced manufacturing. XNRGY's facility will create hundreds of high-wage jobs for Arizonans, adding to our state's skilled workforce."

This new best-in-class facility will focus on research and development, spearheading innovation to facilitate the rapid growth and demand for XNRGY's mission-critical climate systems in sectors such hyperscale data centre, semi conductor clean rooms, life sciences, healthcare, as well as battery manufacturing facilities. Applying vertical integration, full automation, and eliminating supply chain delays will expedite product delivery and significantly reduce product lead times compared to the industry average.
"New ideas are needed in every sector of our industry. Breakthroughs such as immersive cooling for data centers and new fan and motor technology will replace old inefficient methods of cooling critical facilities. In every business, Innovation drives excellence and XNRGY is prepared to take the lead in sustainability through technology. It's exciting to be part of a dynamic team of professionals who share a persistent dedication to excellence."
