HOUSTON, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Powell Industries, Inc. (POWL) (“Powell” or the “Company”), a leading supplier of custom engineered solutions for the management, control and distribution of electrical energy, today announced a
$12.4 million investment to expand production capacity at its Jacintoport manufacturing facility in Houston. This announcement brings the cumulative investment in the Jacintoport fabrication yard to approximately
$20 million over the past eight years, and nearly
$40 million across Powell’s three Houston manufacturing facilities to support the Company’s organic growth plans.
Brett A. Cope, Powell’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This next expansion phase of our Jacintoport facility is a critical step to support what we expect will be a strong and durable cycle of Oil & Gas order activity driven by LNG project development and execution work over the next three to five years. The yard provides our customers with a premier facility to build both onshore and offshore Power Distribution solutions to meet the critical dates of their projects, further strengthening Powell’s leading position in this market, as we continue to play a vital role in supporting the production and export of U.S. LNG and the essential role it will play in the global energy landscape.”
The investment will add an incremental 335,000 square feet of productive capacity for Power Control Room laydown area, a 62% increase from the current yard capacity. The investment will also double the length of the existing shoreline bulkhead to 1,150 feet to support increased schedule flexibility and multiple ship lanes for the varied needs and project timelines of Powell’s customers. The incremental capacity is initially expected to support the Company’s Oil & Gas customers but can be utilized to support each of Powell’s market sectors.
Construction is expected to begin during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 and is expected to be completed in late Fiscal 2026.
