  • After expanding into large-megawatt generators, Generac saw rising demand from data center operators and strong year-over-year growth in its Commercial & Industrial business, prompting manufacturing expansion.
  • The Sussex facility will open in the fourth quarter at N64 W23110 Main St and will add over 100 manufacturing positions just north of Quad/Graphics' headquarters.
  • Combined with Beaver Dam and Oshkosh plants, the Sussex site expands Commercial & Industrial capacity to better serve backup-power verticals including health care, hospitality, wastewater, water utility, and heavy industrial customers.
  • Generac described the move as positioning for growth, with Aaron Jagdfeld noting that 'global demand for data center capacity projected to more than triple by 2030,' said the statement.
