Armstrong Breaks Ground On New Heat Pump Manufacturing Facility

August 26th, 2024

GROWING AND IMPROVING TO BETTER SERVE YOUR NEEDS

Armstrong International broke ground June 20th on a new 29,000 square foot industrial heat pump manufacturing facility in Three Rivers. The project is supported in part through a grant from the Department of Energy and its Heat Pump Defense Production Act. The grant enables Armstrong to significantly bolster its manufacturing capabilities, specifically to produce specialized industrial heat pumps designed for applications exceeding 100kW of heat and temperatures above 180°F.

According to Kurt Armstrong, CEO of Armstrong International, “This expansion marks a significant milestone for Armstrong International in our growth as a global leader in advancing thermal decarbonization solutions. It underscores our commitment to driving sustainable, technical solutions within the industrial sector, aimed at improving energy efficiency and assisting in the global energy transition.”
