REDMOND,
Ore., Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BASX
("BASX" or the "Company"), a leader in the manufacturing of
high-efficiency data center cooling solutions, cleanroom systems,
and custom HVAC systems, is proud to announce the official
ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newly completed 36,000-square-foot
weld shop. The Redmond Chamber of
Commerce performed the ribbon cutting on September 18th, 2024, at BASX headquarters.
The weld shop will create significant job opportunities in the
Central Oregon region, with the
capacity to fill an additional 30 welding positions. Positions
range from entry-level to experienced roles, with professional
opportunities in various growing departments within the
Company.
"This new facility is a major investment not just in our
company, but in the future of Central
Oregon," said Dave Benson,
AAON VP and BASX President. "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."
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. 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.
The shop's innovative capabilities will support the Company's
growth and solidify its position for ongoing expansion. In addition
to the 30 new welding jobs, BASX is actively hiring across various
departments to support its continued success. To learn more about
