TRENTON, S.C., Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac Power
Systems, Inc. (NYSE: GNRC), a leading global designer and
manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power
products, today announced that the Company is further expanding its
footprint and operations at its manufacturing, assembly, and
distribution facility in Trenton, South
Carolina. The move will increase the Company's distribution
capacity in the southeastern United
States.
The expansion, which is expected to be complete by the third
quarter of 2022, will add 200,000 square feet to the facility,
increasing the current size of the building by nearly 50 percent,
and will create additional space for the warehousing of raw
materials and storage of finished goods.
"Generac has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade
and demand for our products continues to be exceptional as the
combination of an aging grid and extreme weather are resulting in
more frequent and longer lasting power outages, and that demand has
only intensified in the last year and a half with more people
needing backup power as they spend much more time at home doing
everything from working to learning to shopping," said
Aaron Jagdfeld, president and chief
executive officer of Generac. "In further expanding our footprint
in Trenton, we will be better able
to meet the growing demand we are experiencing for Generac's home
standby generators and associated energy technologies."
"Since beginning operations in South
Carolina, we have quickly seen the positive benefits thanks
to our dedicated workforce in Trenton and our strong partnerships with
county and state leaders," said Tom
Pettit, chief operations officer at Generac. "By further
investing in our operations in Edgefield
County, we are strengthening our distribution capabilities
in the region."
Generac purchased the 421,000-square-foot facility located at 30
Generac Way in February 2021.
Operations at the facility began in early July.
