Company expands for data center coolers

JACKSONVILLE – A newly expanded production facility in Jacksonville opened Wednesday, positioning itself as a key supplier for a wave of proposed data centers in Texas. The Italian multi-national company, Luve, is a global leader in ventilated equipment and heat exchangers. Their products are critical for the cooling systems used in the booming data center industry.

At Luve’s ribbon-cutting, hosted by the City of Jacksonville, the company also announced a new contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars to support four future data centers in Texas.

“We were very welcomed here in the community. We can add to the community,” Ronald Bekker of the Luve Group said. “We have a responsibility as an employer to add to the community. You hear at the announcement of scholarships, for our people, for their children. So we are ready to step up our connection with the community here in Jacksonville.”

Additionally, the company said they expect to hire around 200 workers for the facility in the near future.
