Groundbreaking ceremony for the new HOERBIGER Florida Campus
On April 23, the groundbreaking ceremony marked the start of construction for the new home of HOERBIGER Corporation of America: the Florida Campus in Delray Beach. With this forward-looking project, HOERBIGER is strengthening its presence in North and Latin America while laying the foundation for future growth.
“HOERBIGER first opened in the Americas more than 60 years ago, and we are pleased to build on that commitment to our North and Latin American customers with this groundbreaking ceremony for our new Florida Campus facility in Delray Beach. The Americas have long been among our most important markets, and our new, expanded location will continue to support our regional customers while also providing for the long-term growth of our business in this region,” said Wolfgang Sautter, CEO Compression Division at HOERBIGER.
"HOERBIGER’s expansion to Delray Beach is a strong testament to Palm Beach County’s ability to support advanced manufacturing and global innovation. As a Swiss-based industry leader, their continued investment here reinforces our region’s appeal to international companies seeking talent, infrastructure, and long-term growth opportunities," said Kelly Smallridge, President and CEO of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County (BDB).
Groundwork for future expansion
This new, state-of-the-art location includes nearly 200,000 square feet of space – approximately 155,000 square feet of manufacturing space, and 45,000 square feet for office staff. The new facility will feature the most innovative manufacturing equipment and technology available today. The new HOERBIGER campus is approximately 80,000 square feet larger than its current manufacturing and office facilities in Pompano Beach, HOERBIGER’s North America manufacturing center since the late 1970s. The new Florida Campus is slated to open in 2026.
“With our new Florida Campus, we will be able to build on our decades of success in the region, while continuing to provide our customers the highest-quality reciprocating compressor components available in North and Latin America,” said Arek Dyrdol, Head of Regional Unit NAM – OEM. “The new facility will also ensure we’re able to address future industry trends and challenges, which include solutions for emissions reduction and digitalization, and for hydrogen mobility. Our new Delray Beach home, combinated with our local engineering and production expertise, and the latest technology, will enable us to continue to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.
