Production of Airedale® Chillers for Data Center Customers Begins at New Texas Facility

RACINE, Wis., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Modine (NYSE: MOD), a diversified global leader in thermal management technology and solutions, today announced that it has commenced commercial production of Airedale® chillers at a new purpose-built advanced manufacturing facility in Grand Prairie, Texas. The 682,000-square-foot facility is dedicated to manufacturing state-of-the-art 2MW and 3MW chillers with free cooling for the data center market, directly supporting the rapidly expanding infrastructure needs of the world's leading hyperscale cloud providers, colocation operators, and high-density AI computing environments.

"The launch of our Grand Prairie facility is an important milestone in the plan we announced last year to expand U.S. manufacturing capacity for Airedale cooling technologies," said Neil D. Brinker, President and CEO. "Scaling our capacity close to our customers enables us to partner with them to deliver the right highly engineered cooling solutions to help them advance their progress and achieve their performance objectives."

The Grand Prairie site is expected to become the largest Airedale chiller manufacturing facility within the organization's global footprint. The first production line began operations this month, and the company is targeting four operational 2MW production lines by the end of the current fiscal year, subject to equipment commissioning, workforce readiness, and other operational considerations. The facility currently operates one shift, with plans to systematically scale to a fully operational, three-shift model.

In addition to chillers, Airedale offers a comprehensive portfolio of mission-critical thermal management solutions, including dry coolers, coolant distribution units (CDUs), and intelligent controls, engineered to optimize efficiency across diverse data center thermal architectures. Airedale's purpose-built, premium systems address the most complex, high-density thermal demands of today's data center operators while maximizing energy and water efficiency.
