Lennox Celebrates Opening of Renovated Marshalltown Facilities

Lennox, a provider of innovative solutions in the HVACR industry, recently commemorated the completion of renovations to its Marshalltown facility. This comes five years after a devastating tornado caused significant damage to the facility. Lennox has a long history of resilience and commitment to the Marshalltown, Iowa, community, where the company was founded by railroad machine repair businessman Dave Lennox in 1895.

"The completion of the Marshalltown facility rebuild is a new chapter in our company's history," said Alok Maskara, Lennox CEO. "This is a celebration of our commitment to customers, employees, and our community. I am incredibly proud of the immense hard work and resilience our team has shown in the face of adversity." 

The renovated Lennox facility boasts nearly one million square feet of manufacturing and office space. The investments include upgraded building infrastructure, more automated manufacturing equipment, a new office building and a museum showcasing the Lennox company's history of innovation and excellence over its 128 years in business. The upgraded building infrastructure features numerous sustainable attributes including a Lennox Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system.

The facility commemoration and museum reopening are not only a celebration for Lennox, but also for the entire Marshalltown community that was impacted by the 2018 tornado that caused significant damage to the town and the Lennox manufacturing facility.
