ACS Manufacturing Expands Davis County, Utah, Operations

06/17/2025
ACS Manufacturing, a manufacturer of structural enclosures for mission-critical back up power systems primarily used in data centers, hospitals, and utility campuses, plans to expand its operations in Davis County, Utah. The $31.5 million project is expected to create 223 jobs over the next ten years.

“As demand for our products continues to accelerate at a rapid pace, expanding our manufacturing operations in Utah is a strategic step forward,” said Dan Knox, CEO of ACS. “Utah offers a unique and compelling business environment, including its proximity to key customers and a deep pool of highly skilled labor. But what truly sets Utah apart is the exceptional work ethic of its people. We’re excited to invest in a region that shares our commitment to quality, innovation, and excellence in everything we do.”

To support the project the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity awarded ACS Manufacturing a post-performance tax reduction. The corporate incentive is part of the state’s Economic Development Tax Increment Financing program.

“ACS Manufacturing will play a key role in supporting important industries across the state by manufacturing critical support systems right here in Utah,” noted Ryan Starks, executive director of EDCUtah. “We appreciate our strong partnerships in northern Utah and the support from GOEO in providing an incentive to help bring this project to life. ACS Manufacturing has an important role in providing redundant and reliable systems. Additionally, they are creating high-wage jobs and delivering significant value to the community of Clearfield in Davis County.”

ACS Manufacturing performs structural, electrical, and manufacturing work to design, build, test, and commission its enclosures and related power generation products. The company serves several generator manufacturers and data center owner/operators in the U.S.

“Utah’s manufacturing sector is a key driver of our state’s economic resilience and prosperity,” added Jefferson Moss, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity. “Companies like ACS Manufacturing are at the forefront of positioning Utah as a technological advancement and innovation hub. Its growth creates high-quality jobs, strengthens our communities, and bolsters the state’s economy.”
