GUELPH — Hammond Power Solutions Inc. says it has signed a long-term lease for a new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas, to meet the growing demand from data centre projects. The Ontario-based company says the new operation will expand its ability to serve U.S.-based customers. CEO Adrian Thomas says demand for the transformers the company produces continues to increase, particularly from large projects tied to data centres, electrification and power infrastructure. Hammond Power Solutions says it expects to invest about $50 million to equip and commission the initial production phase. Production at the new location is expected to start in stages beginning in the fourth quarter of 2027. The company says, once the initial production phase starts, the facility is expected to add about $250 million in annual manufacturing capacity, based on anticipated demand.
