RoboVent relocates to new manufacturing facility in Michigan

RoboVent has celebrated the grand opening of its new manufacturing facility in New Baltimore, Michigan, USA.

The industrial dust collection and air filtration company was previously located in the Sterling Heights, Michigan area for nearly 30 years before the relocation. With this move, RoboVent has nearly doubled its facility’s footprint to a total of 89,600 sq ft.

 “Our new space better supports our current production needs and gives us room to grow in the future,” said Rick Kreczmer, president of RoboVent. “In turn, this allows us to serve our customers better by facilitating innovation, reducing lead times and enabling us to take on more projects while maintaining our commitment to quality.”

The new facility significantly expands production, assembly, staging and storage space, which will allow RoboVent to accelerate order fulfillment. The new production and assembly area for RoboVent’s dust collectors is more than five times as large as the production area in Sterling Heights; the new building also has more space for completed unit staging and shipping, filter manufacturing and staging, and parts storage. With more production and staging space, RoboVent can build more units at once and get them out the door faster.

The move represents a new chapter for the company, which was founded in 1989 as a small family-owned business serving the metalworking industry. Over the last 35 years, the company has expanded its scope far beyond metalworking with solutions for general manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, battery manufacturing, food & beverage, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production, and other powder & bulk applications. RoboVent was acquired by Sweden’s Nederman in 2022.   

“Going into this larger facility positions us for long-term growth,” said Frank Cea, vice president of Growth and Engagement for RoboVent. “As we continue to gain strength in sectors such as food processing, battery manufacturing, and powder and bulk applications, the expanded production space will give us the flexibility and room we need to ramp up operations to meet demand. It’s exciting to experience the growth and see the renewed enthusiasm from the team. Our commitment is to be fast, friendly and world-class, and this new building helps fulfill that promise.”

“This is an exciting milestone for Nederman and RoboVent,” added Hans Dahlen, senior vice president and head of Division Extraction & Filtration Technology for Nederman. “This move will support the company’s continued growth and enable us to better serve customers across North America with industry-leading clean air solutions.”
