On July 27, OTC Industrial Technologies, an industrial equipment service provider and distributor headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, announced the opening of a new manufacturing facility to support customer demand for its DIRECTAIR product.

OTC says that the facility, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, will increase the company’s capacity by 200%. 

In addition, this new facility will serve as Critical Rental Solutions’ second hub, further expanding OTC’s rental offerings into the Midwest, the company said.

This is OTC’s second expansion in the last year, following the Kingman, Arizona, facility. OTC says a third location is set to open in Houston in early 2023.

“This new location will allow OTC to serve our customers with compressed air needs,” said Adam Gibbs, president of Air Supply at OTC. Both DIRECTAIR and CRS product offerings are in high demand as they provide significant value to our customers. I am excited to open this new facility as it will allow us to further help our customers find success.”
