HUBER Technology, Inc., a global leader in high-quality mechanical solutions including stainless steel equipment for municipal and industrial water, wastewater, sludge treatment, and energy, celebrated the grand opening of its new manufacturing facility in Denver, North Carolina on April 17, 2024. Prior to the expansion, HUBER manufactured 7 products in the US. Following the expansion, the new facility will allow for on-site manufacturing of around 40 products in 2024, with plans to add more in the following years to cover the entire product range.
Jared Feider, Nick Crevcoure, Kevin LaPean, Emily Vebber, and Dan Waala from Energenecs attended this momentous event which marks a significant expansion in HUBER’s manufacturing capabilities and underscores its commitment to American production and innovation.
Energenecs and Huber have enjoyed a very long history together spanning back to when they first entered the US market nearly 30 years ago. Energenecs is really proud to have been part of the tremendous growth of Huber USA and are very excited about this plant expansion. – Jared Feider, President, Energenecs
A Strategic Move Toward Local Production
The new facility, which represents a $41 million investment, is HUBER’s response to growing demands for locally manufactured products in compliance with the Build America, Buy America Act. Spanning 140,000 square feet, the Denver plant is engineered to streamline production processes and greatly enhance efficiency in production.
Johan van Ettekoven, Regional Sales Director at HUBER Technology, shared insights into the development and capabilities of the new plant. “The transition from relying solely on our German plant to establishing a full-fledged production facility in North Carolina has been monumental. With this move, we are significantly enhancing our service to U.S. clients by localizing production,” he explained.
Community Impact
This expansion is not just about increasing production capacity but also about bringing innovation closer to home. The Denver facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that supports environmentally sustainable practices, reflecting HUBER’s dedication to responsible manufacturing. The establishment of the Denver plant has also been a boon for local employment. Over the past two years, the facility has created 80 jobs, with plans to add an additional 50 positions by the end of 2024. This initiative extends beyond HUBER, stimulating economic growth and fostering prosperity within the region through partnerships with local suppliers.
Global Presence, US Focus
With manufacturing plants in Germany, China, and the United States, HUBER maintains a robust global presence. The strategic placement of the new facility in North Carolina leverages the local skilled workforce and favorable business climate, positioning HUBER to better serve its American clients and reinforce its industry leadership in innovative solutions.
