Kaishan Compressor USA, a provider of industrial rotary screw air compressor manufacturing, has announced the completion of its $11 million expansion in Loxley, AL. Kaishan recently celebrated the grand opening with an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony at its Loxley facility.
This major investment doubles the size of Kaishan's Loxley operations and represents a significant milestone in the company's long-term commitment to enhancing production, training, research, and development and job creation in the United States. The expansion is part of the company's strategic plan, originally launched in 2018, to build value and manufacturing capability domestically in American industrial innovation.
"This expansion is more than just square footage-it is a commitment to our customers, our employees, and the Loxley community," said Keith Schumacher, CEO of Kaishan USA. "We are excited to showcase our growth and share the next chapter of Kaishan USA with our partners and friends."
The newly expanded facility includes Phase II production and testing of Kaishan's oil-free product line, continuing the company's commitment to this important global market segment. The upgrade will also enhance the ability to manufacture oil-injected airends to support premium series products for customers in the Americas. The expanded warehouse portion will boost aftermarket support and streamline product shipments.
The investment introduces more dedicated space for hands-on and classroom distributor service training, an additional office, a breakroom space, and significantly upgraded research and development and quality control zones for continuous product development and improvement.
In addition to operational improvements, Kaishan USA is making a long-term commitment to the Loxley community by creating more than 50 high-paying jobs over the next five years.
"Kaishan's expansion is a great example of the kind of growth we want to see in Loxley," said Loxley Mayor Richard Teal. "They are bringing high-quality jobs, innovation and long-term investment to our community, and we are glad to see their success contributing to our region's strong manufacturing industry."
