Hammond Power Solutions Expanding in Texas Amid Demand From Data Centre Projects
The facility could add about CAD $250 million in annual manufacturing capacity as HPS targets growing demand from data centres and power infrastructure.
On Tuesday, Hammond Power Solutions Inc. signed a long-term lease for a new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, expanding its ability to serve U.S.-based customers requiring large standard and custom-engineered transformers.
Chief Executive Officer Adrian Thomas cited rising demand from data centers, electrification, and power infrastructure projects as the primary driver for the expansion, which aims to improve delivery responsiveness.
HPS plans to invest about $50 million to equip and commission the initial production phase, which is expected to add about $250 million in annual manufacturing capacity, with potential for $400 million upon full build-out.
Production at the facility is scheduled to commence in stages beginning in Q4 2027; Chief Operations Officer John Bailey noted the site allows the company to apply operational disciplines from its existing Canadian and Mexican plants.
Strategically located to shorten delivery distances, the new plant reinforces HPS's ability to scale operations efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Future capacity remains subject to market demand and continued capital investment.
