Modine, a diversified global leader in thermal management technology and solutions, has officially opened its new 100,000 square feet facility in Chennai, India. The event marked the beginning of full-scale, in-region production of Airedale by Modine data centre cooling equipment and a strategic positioning to meet accelerated demand from data centre customers across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Commenting on the development, Eric McGinnis, President, Climate Solutions at Modine, said, “Launching our Chennai facility is a significant milestone in our global growth strategy. The data centre market in India and across the region is growing rapidly. Establishing in-region manufacturing strengthens our ability to serve APAC data centre customers with speed, precision, and locally tailored solutions.”
The launch event featured remarks from senior leadership, a tree-planting ceremony, and the unveiling of the first locally manufactured unit – the AireWall ONE fan wall. More ranges are being incorporated into the production schedule to match increasing data centre demand across the region. The state-of-the-art facility complements Modine’s recently announced investment to expand U.S. production, reinforcing the company’s strategy to serve high-growth markets.
The increasing use of AI applications has driven demand for Airedale by Modine data centre cooling solutions, including high-efficiency chillers, indoor air systems, next-generation liquid cooling technologies, intelligent controls, Building Management Systems (BMS), and a global service network.
