AXH Air-Coolers has broken ground on a 161,500-square-foot manufacturing facility in Sapulpa and is simultaneously expanding its Claremore campus by another 175,000 square feet, pushing the company’s total new manufacturing footprint in Oklahoma to 336,500 square feet. The Sapulpa building is part of phase two of the company’s campus there, while construction is already underway on the North Lowry Building expansion in Claremore.
The Sapulpa facility is scheduled for completion in March 2027, according to CompressorTECH², which reports that the project will expand production capacity and address evolving thermal management requirements. The outlet notes the Claremore project is likewise intended to address continued demand across core and emerging markets and increase production capacity, though no completion date for that expansion has been disclosed.
AXH makes air-cooled heat exchangers used in natural gas compression, gas processing, power generation and other industrial applications, equipment that supports heat management in compression systems, including gas cooling and engine cooling. The company’s air-cooled heat exchangers are widely used in natural gas compression facilities to manage gas temperatures and remove heat generated during compression, and they also support cooling requirements across gas processing and other energy infrastructure applications, per the same account.

AXH did not disclose the projects’ capital investment, the anticipated percentage increase in manufacturing capacity, or the number of jobs expected to be created, the article states. A completion date for the Claremore expansion also hasn’t been shared…
