Munters Group AB Investing $36M In Virginia 

Energy efficient air treatment and climate solutions manufacturer Munters Group AB will build a state-of-the-art facility in Botetourt Center to replace its Buena Vista, VA plant.

Munters Group AB, a global leader in innovative energy-efficient and sustainable climate solutions for mission-critical processes, will build a state-of-the-art facility in Botetourt Center at Greenfield to replace its Buena Vista, VA plant. The company will invest $36 million and plans to retain its approximately 200 workers in the new location. The 365,000- square-foot facility will house manufacturing, research and development, and sales of data center cooling systems and high-temperature industrial process systems.

“A move to the Roanoke region will allow for the expansion that is needed for the Data Centers business in the U.S. It also generates an opportunity for our employees to move into a new, upgraded facility suited to our specific needs,” said Michael Gantert, president Data Centers at Munters. “Remaining in Virginia allows us to continue caring for our workers while opening doors for new team members to join the Munters family.”

“When Munters approached us, we quickly recognized a win-win situation. A new facility will meet the company’s growth and Botetourt County will have another international manufacturer to add to our roster of foreign direct investment,” said Dr. Mac Scothorn, chairman of the Botetourt County Board of Supervisors. “We appreciate that Munters recognizes that the company will benefit from the business climate in Botetourt County.”
