AMESBURY, MASS. — Munters Corp. announced plans to build a new 400,000-square-foot flagship facility in Amesbury, Mass., which is expected to be fully operational by 2024.

“Munters has been part of the Amesbury community for 60 years,” said Andrew Cook, senior vice president, Americas, AirTech. “Our business has flourished here, and we continue to grow. We’re the largest employer in the community, and many of our employees live in Amesbury or the surrounding area, so being able to bring the entire workforce to our new site – plus expand it – is absolutely fantastic.”

Munters is partnering with Global Property Developers Corp. to develop the facility.

With growing demand for the precise temperature and humidity control that desiccant dehumidification technology provides, Munters hopes its new operation will better help serve its target markets, including lithium-ion battery production and food processing.

The facility will increase production capacity, improve workflow and offer added comfort for employees. It will house fabrication, assembly, rotor production, a new R&D lab and a service training academy. Munters added that equipment will align with the company’s sustainability goals by using renewable energy sources for electricity.

“Munters is again making important investments in our global footprint, and in our growing markets,” said Henrik Teiwik, group vice president and president, Business Area, AirTech. “Our dedication to providing outstanding customer experiences with our core dehumidification products, solutions and services in the Americas region is clear. This new facility will have reduced carbon dioxide emissions, increased energy efficiency, and a significant share of renewable electricity for our operations, supporting Munters’ journey toward a sustainable world.”
