Generac Holdings Inc. (GNRC) has announced its acquisition of a new facility in Belvidere, Illinois, slated to operationalize in the first quarter of 2027. This expansion aims to enhance Generac’s commercial and industrial (C&I) manufacturing capabilities in response to the growing demand for large-scale power solutions across various sectors, including data centers and healthcare.

This move comes as Generac continues to grow its footprint in the C&I sector, particularly with large-megawatt generators. The company is also investing in additional manufacturing capabilities, with a new facility in Wisconsin expected to begin production in the second half of 2026. The projected domestic capacity for large megawatt generators is anticipated to exceed $1 billion by the end of 2026.

The Belvidere facility is expected to create over 100 new jobs, covering roles in manufacturing, assembly, logistics, and engineering. This expansion not only supports Generac’s business objectives but also aims to generate significant economic benefits for the local community.
