Multiquip, a diverse manufacturer and supplier of light to medium construction equipment, power generators and lighting, has opened a new production facility for its MQ Power generators near its Carson, Calif., headquarters. The new 28,000-square-foot facility enables Multiquip to shorten response times for modification and customization requests for its flagship DCA generators (7kW to 1100kW), studio generators (30kW to 285kW), and container generators (500kW to 2000kW).

“This new facility allows us to build the industry-recognized studio line of MQ Power generators and the world-class container generators with the latest technology available to ensure the highest quality products,” said Mike Howlett, senior vice president, manufacturing. “The new site also supports engineering and research and development efforts that have made MQ Power products the industry’s technology leader.”

The new location will improve customer support for the Southern California region and expands distribution ability for the Western United States, the company said. In planning the facility, Multiquip chose to minimize the environmental impact by including a wash are utilizing 100-percent recycled water and full containment area to capture any spills onsite.

Multiquip distributes its products in more than 70 countries through thousands of authorized distribution partners.
