Generac Holdings announced the acquisition of a new facility in Belvidere, Illinois. The investment will significantly expand the company's packaging capacity for large-megawatt generators as demand continues to accelerate across key sectors. In February, Generac acquired Enercon Engineering, adding specialized expertise in generator enclosure manufacturing. Building on this capability and in response to rising demand, the new facility will complement Enercon's operations by expanding capacity for enclosure assembly and final packaging, delivering shipment-ready units to customers. The Belvidere facility is strategically located, providing direct access to major interstate systems and enabling efficient transport of large-scale equipment. The new facility will add more than 100 new jobs when it opens in the first quarter of 2027.

Generac announced it has signed a global supply agreement with a hyperscale data center operator to supply backup power generators for the company's data center infrastructure. "This agreement positions Generac at the heart of supporting essential services and the digital economy," said Aaron Jagdfeld, Chairman, President and CEO of Generac. "The successful navigation of this approval process solidifies our position as a top-tier supplier of large megawatt backup power generators and reflects the kind of relationship we expect will grow as the digital economy continues to scale." Generac shares are up 7.7% in premarket trading.
