An investment of US$6 million up to 2025 will enable power systems supplier Kohler Energy to upgrade its production site in Brest, Brittany. The plan is to meet increasing demand for generators in the data centre market.

The 42,800 sq m plant offers expanded manufacturing and logistics facilities and upgraded dock infrastructure to support higher-capacity shipment by sea.

Kohler manufactures around 17,000 generators per year in Brest, with power nodes ranging from 7.5 to 4,500 kVA.

The investment will allow it to increase the number of large generators it produces per annum, while introducing a new range of walk-in enclosures.

“The Brest plant provides a one-stop-shop approach to generator supply from design and manufacture to testing and inspection, all under one roof,” said a spokesman.

The first phase involved the enlargement of main docks to accommodate larger generator designs.

The second phase involved expanding manufacturing, test, and logistics warehouse floor space to support the growth in leading markets.

Expansion at the site has allowed Kohler to introduce a new range of walk-in enclosures to house >4,000 kW generators in outdoor environments.
