Modine opens new facility to support growing data centre demand

Modine opens a new facility in Calgary, Canada. The facility will manufacture Airedale by Modine™ precision cooling equipment to meet the increased demand from data centre customers, particularly in the hyperscale market.

Modine a diversified global leader in thermal management technology and solutions, announced the opening of a new 23,200m² facility in Calgary, Canada. The first Airedale by Modine units from the new Calgary facility are expected to be delivered by the end of 2024. Eric McGinnis, President, Climate Solutions said, “We are excited to open this new facility in Calgary in support of our global expansion strategy. Following the recent announcement of the opening of our facility in Bradford, UK, we are well-positioned to serve data center customers worldwide. With the full range of Airedale by Modine technologies, customers have a one-stop shop for mission-critical cooling  solutions.”

Modine acquired Canada-based Scott Springfield Manufacturing in February and promptly broke ground on a third facility to manufacture advanced air handling units for hyperscale data centre customers under the Airedale by Modine brand. This new facility expands Modine’s ability to provide customers with cooling equipment from a global manufacturing footprint that includes facilities in Spain, the UK, and the U.S.

Javier Vazquez, General Manager said, “Earlier this year, Modine committed to expanding capacity and driving growth in the data centre equipment market. It is impressive to see such a quick operational turnaround from the planning stages to execution and setup of the new facility. The team involved did an amazing job to get us to this point.”
