Munters Forms Joint Venture and Expands Chiller Production

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 11, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Munters Group AB has taken steps to bolster its data center supply chain and expand its production capacity. The company has entered into a joint venture with Lordan, a producer of high-quality fin and tube heat exchangers, to establish a facility for coil manufacturing in the United States.

The new joint venture will see Munters invest MUSD 9.5 (approximately MSEK 90) and hold a 45% stake, with Lordan taking the remaining 55%. The facility is set to be located near Munters Data Center Technologies' existing facility in Selma, Texas. According to Frank Pellegrino, President of Munters' Data Center Technologies business area, the proximity to the existing facility will offer added benefits from both an efficiency and environmental perspective.

The joint venture is expected to commence operations within 12 to 18 months.

In addition to the joint venture, Munters has also announced plans to expand its existing facility in northern Italy for the manufacturing of chillers. The company is acquiring an adjoining site and will develop new production lines, R&D capabilities, and testing facilities over the course of the coming year. The total investment is estimated at around MEUR 25.

The expansion in Italy is part of Munters' strategy to better meet growing demand in Europe for chiller products. The company is committed to enhancing its production capabilities and ensuring a steady supply of high-quality cooling solutions to its customers.

With these strategic moves, Munters is positioning itself to meet the increasing demands of the data center and cooling industries. The company's focus on supply chain resilience and production capacity is expected to strengthen its market position and support its long-term growth objectives.
