Munters Group AB, a Sweden-based manufacturer of air treatment and cooling systems for data centers and other industrial applications, will invest $36 million to relocate its Buena Vista operations to Botetourt County, company and county officials announced Thursday.
Munters will begin construction in April on a 365,000-square-foot manufacturing facility expected to open in summer 2022 in the county’s Botetourt Center at Greenfield business park in Daleville. The new facility will house manufacturing, research and development, and sales of data center cooling systems and high temperature industrial process systems.
The company’s 200 employees from Buena Vista, where Munters has operated a plant for 23 years, are expected to transfer to the new location, which is about a 45-minute drive south and a few miles off Interstate 81.
