XNRGY recently announced the construction of a new cutting-edge manufacturing facility in the Greater Phoenix area. XNRGY is one of the largest custom air handling manufacturers in North America, and designs, engineers, and manufactures sophisticated, sustainable solutions focused on reducing both carbon footprint and energy consumption for sectors such as life sciences, healthcare, data centers, semiconductor cleanrooms and battery manufacturing facilities.
XNRGY plans to build a state-of-the-art one million-square-foot facility in the Phoenix area. The facility will be designated as XNRGY’s headquarters and represents an estimated $300 million investment and more than 900 jobs for residents over time. With the Arizona facility, XNRGY’s total manufacturing capacity will increase by a factor of eight, to 1,250,000-square-feet.
The Arizona Commerce Authority touted the news, noting that the new facility will focus on “research and development, spearheading innovation to facilitate the rapid growth and demand for XNRGY’s mission-critical climate systems . . . . 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.”
XNRGY is committed to sustainability and minimizing environmental impact with a goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2030. Its innovative climate systems use significantly less water and power and reduce overall building energy consumption by integrating very high-efficiency refrigerant systems coupled with proprietary machines moving the air; immersion cooling is the next step for the company, and XNRGY has made clear that it “wants to be part of the solution to cool hyper-scale data centers without millions of gallons of water a day.” Every unit is custom-engineered and manufactured by XNRGY with the aim to achieve the lowest power usage effectiveness (PUE) rating, using materials that are specifically chosen to ensure long life, durability, and environmental protection.
Of XNRGY’s move to Arizona, Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority, said “XNRGY’s new manufacturing facility highlights the state’s attractiveness as a destination for manufacturing excellence. XNRGY is bringing their state-of-the-art operations to Arizona, highlighting the state’s vibrant industrial manufacturing sector. We are grateful to XNRGY for their commitment to Arizona and look forward to supporting them as they establish their first facility in the U.S.”
