DAYTON, MN, Sep 23, 2025 – Forgent Power Solutions has expanded its U.S. operations with the opening of a 500,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Dayton, MN. The new facility raises its Minnesota footprint to 630,000 square feet and brings its total North American manufacturing space to more than two million square feet.
The Dayton facility will produce power skids, e-houses, medium-voltage switchgear, and other electrical distribution equipment. The site became operational in less than six months. As part of the expansion, the company plans to add new jobs over the next few years. The growth will increase the Minnesota workforce and support the state’s role in advanced manufacturing.
“The opening of Forgent’s new Dayton facility represents the culmination of a multi-year expansion plan,” said Gary Niederpruem, chief executive officer of Forgent. “Forgent started planning several years ago for the step-change growth in demand from data centers, independent power producers, utilities and manufacturers that we see today. Those early investments give us an edge over competitors on lead time, ability to customize at scale and capacity for large deployments.”
