Halton Group Expands US Factory Operations and Manufacture of Air Handling Units
Opens new US production unit in Kentucky
SCOTTSVILLE, Ky. — Halton will open a new U.S. production unit of about 40,000 square feet close to its existing plant in Kentucky. This will focus on the manufacture of air handling units, make-up air units, and exhaust air pollution control systems for the needs of commercial kitchens. This will allow the current plant, with a floor area of almost 86,000 square feet, to focus on commercial kitchens’ hood and air distribution solutions. Expanding production to include air handling units is part of Halton’s new growth strategy, aiming at increased sales of the company’s customer-oriented total solutions and at doubling its market in North and South America.
The investment is worth about $8 million, of which the plant’s machinery accounts for about $4 million.
