BASX, a leader in the manufacturing of high-efficiency data centre cooling solutions, cleanroom systems, and custom HVAC systems, has celebrated the opening of its newly completed 36,000 sqft weld shop with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The Redmond Chamber of Commerce performed the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the BASX headquarters in Remond, Oregan in the US in September.
The Redmond Chamber of Commerce is a local organisation that supports businesses, promotes economic growth, and fosters community development in Redmond, Oregon.
The weld shop will create significant job opportunities in the Central Oregon region, with the capacity to fill an additional 30 welding positions.
The new shop marks a major expansion in the Company's production capabilities, introducing state-of-the-art welding technology within a climate-controlled environment
Positions range from entry-level to experienced roles, with professional opportunities in various growing departments within the Company.
AAON VP and BASX President, Dave Benson, said: "This new facility is a major investment not just in our company, but in the future of Central Oregon. We can now deliver even higher levels of quality and efficiency while providing more job opportunities for the community.
"We're proud to support local manufacturing growth and look forward to seeing the impact this expansion will have on both BASX and the region."

A key highlight of the facility is its cutting-edge tube laser, capable of precision cutting and profiling round and square tubes
Equipped with advanced air filtration systems, including an AAON make-up air unit and multiple air scrubbers, the shop ensures exceptional air quality for its workers.
The space also features two 5-ton overhead cranes and six ½-ton cantilever jib cranes, allowing for efficient movement of materials across the facility.
A key highlight of the facility is its cutting-edge tube laser, capable of precision cutting and profiling round and square tubes, as well as C-channel and I-beam profiles up to 27 feet in length.
Additionally, a 75-foot-long dual-zone robotic welding cell is scheduled to be installed and operational in early 2025, enabling the welding of large subassemblies up to 10 tons.
