Commemoration celebrates the resilience and
strength of the Lennox and Marshalltown communities
RICHARDSON, Texas, July 14,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox, a leading provider of
innovative solutions in the HVACR industry, recently commemorated
the completion of renovations to its Marshalltown facility. This comes five years
after a devastating tornado caused significant damage to the
facility. Lennox has a long history of resilience and commitment to
the Marshalltown, Iowa, community,
where the company was founded by railroad machine repair
businessman Dave Lennox in 1895.
"The completion of the Marshalltown facility rebuild is a new chapter
in our company's history," said Alok
Maskara, Lennox CEO. "This is a celebration of our
commitment to customers, employees, and our community. I am
incredibly proud of the immense hard work and resilience our team
has shown in the face of adversity." Iowa Governor Kim
Reynolds joined Maskara, Lennox executives, board members
and local officials to celebrate the grand opening of the new
modernized, state-of-the-art facility on July 13.
The renovated Lennox facility boasts nearly one million square
feet of manufacturing and office space. The investments include
upgraded building infrastructure, more automated manufacturing
equipment, a new office building and a museum showcasing the Lennox
company's history of innovation and excellence over its 128 years
in business. The upgraded building infrastructure features numerous
sustainable attributes including a Lennox Variable Refrigerant Flow
(VRF) system.
The facility commemoration and museum reopening are not only a
celebration for Lennox, but also for the entire Marshalltown community that was impacted by
the 2018 tornado that caused significant damage to the town
and the Lennox manufacturing facility.
"Just days after the disaster, Lennox announced its
decision to remain in Marshalltown
and reconstruct this plant. Four years later we stand here together
in this new, state of the art manufacturing facility to celebrate
Lennox's incredible comeback story," said Gov. Kim Reynolds. "As Governor, I want to thank
Lennox for your commitment. After such a disaster you could have
chosen to relocate somewhere else, but you chose to stay because of
your loyalty to the community and state."
