Moffitt West Completes Expansion – Celebrates with Ribbon Cutting
DENISON, TX – Moffitt West (“Moffitt”), a leading manufacturer of natural ventilation solutions, celebrated its factory expansion at a ribbon cutting ceremony in Denison, Texas on March 21st. Moffitt President John Moffitt cut the ribbon and officially reopened the new and improved factory.
John Moffitt was joined at the ribbon cutting ceremony by Director of Engineering and Operations Mike Berry and the entire Moffitt West crew. They welcomed guests including Denison Mayor Janet Gott, Ambassadors from the Chamber of Commerce, local vendors, and community members.
The new expansion increases the total footprint of the facility nearly 70%. It adds room for additional staff, increased production, and improved warehousing and shipping.
The Factory Expansion
The main part of this addition is the 10,000+ ft2 expansion of the workshop floor. An additional 3,500 ft2 of office space was also added to the front of the building. This new space creates a more useful area for management as well as the product engineering staff. It includes several offices, a new conference room, and an expanded and upgraded break room.

“Our increase of production space by more than 50%, as well as the addition of modern offices, will help us in attracting the talent we need to grow.” Said John Moffitt. “[It] enables us to become more proficient in our core products, while at the same time introducing our next generation of natural ventilation solutions.”
This expansion also provided Moffitt West the perfect opportunity to improve its own ventilation system as well. Two (2) adiabatic cooling units and two (2) natural ventilators were installed over the factory floor, while a natural casement ventilator and eight (8) jalousie window ventilators were installed in the new break room. These units will provide natural cooling and natural ventilation all year round and prove especially useful during the hot Texas summers where they should lower temperatures up to 25˚.
