New Addition Will Expand Production
BASX Solutions, a leading manufacturer in Central Oregon that specializes in high efficiency data center cooling solutions, cleanroom systems, custom HVAC systems and modular solutions, recently unveiled a new addition to their Redmond location.
The addition is a new 36,000-square-foot weld shop, “which has the capacity to create an additional 30 welding positions, expanding the company’s production capabilities,” said Christina Lattanzio, the marketing manager.
In July 2020, BASX Solutions broke ground on a 75,000-square-foot high-bay manufacturing expansion, which will allow for a consolidation of operations and a substantial increase in manufacturing capacity. The added space will allow for further expansion, adding in several new pieces of automated machinery to enhance production.
The new weld shop marks another expansion for the manufacturer, which has been growing since their inception in 2014.
The weld shop is equipped with an AAON make-up air unit and multiple air scrubbers, along with two 5-ton overhead cranes and six ½-ton cantilever jib cranes. The facility includes a laser tube cutter for cutting and profiling round and square tubes, as well as C-channel and I-beam profiles up to 27 feet long.
“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 ten tons,” Lattanzio said.
In increasing warehouse space, BASX will be able to optimize their production capabilities and improve their efficiency by repurposing the current weld area, according to Lattanzio.
This expansion does not only improve the functional capabilities of one of Central Oregon’s top manufacturers, but it also reaffirms their commitment to supporting the region by providing valuable job opportunities for a variety of positions, from entry-level work to professional positions.
Lattanzio said, “The project highlights BASX’s dedication to both innovation in manufacturing and community growth.”
