South Side Expansion Announced to Drive Grid Innovation And Meet Growing Industry Demand

Reinhausen Manufacturing (RM), a subsidiary of Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen (MR) based in Regensburg, Germany, has announced the South Side Expansion of its facility in Humboldt, Tennessee. This development marks another important step in the company’s ongoing efforts to support the modernization of the aging U.S. power grid and to meet the rising energy demands of key sectors such as data centers. The South Side Expansion will add 12,000 square feet (approximately 1,100 square meters) of production space, along with additional office accommodations, to the existing Humboldt facility.

Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2025, with completion targeted for July 1, 2026. This new space is crucial for RM’s ability to continue meeting projected market demand through 2030. The expansion will directly support the production of ETOS MD-IV systems, consolidate packaging operations to improve overall efficiency, and allow for the further growth of production and testing activities related to RMV-II systems. By expanding on the south side of the current plant, RM is proactively scaling its operations to maintain its leadership in grid digitization and energy solutions.

Bob Vary, CEO and President of Reinhausen Manufacturing, said, “This expansion is a testament to our dedication to our customers and the nationwide push for a stronger, more resilient power grid. By investing in production and assembly capacity here in Humboldt, we are maintaining our focus on innovation and providing faster response times as demand surges across the energy landscape. With this project, we reaffirm our commitment to delivering groundbreaking solutions necessary to meet evolving industry demands. Reinhausen has a proud history in Humboldt, having served the energy sector from this facility for decades. This continued growth highlights the importance of our U.S. operations in the global effort to deliver reliable energy and underscores our focus on strengthening domestic energy infrastructure.

In addition to supporting the company’s industrial goals, the South Side Expansion is expected to make a positive economic impact on the local community. It will contribute to job creation and generate additional tax revenues, strengthening RM’s long standing role as a driver of local economic growth. Reinhausen Manufacturing’s Humboldt facility has a strong track record of innovation and excellence, and this new expansion represents another significant milestone in the company’s growth journey. Once completed, the expanded facility will enhance RM’s ability to deliver high-quality solutions that meet the evolving needs of the energy sector well into the future.
