DST America, a leading provider of industrial dehumidification solutions, has recently announced the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This expansion marks a significant step forward for the company, solidifying its commitment to the U.S. market and its dedication to serving process industries with high-quality dehumidification equipment.
“We’re incredibly proud of this new facility and the opportunities it presents,” says Doug Burner, the General Manager at DST America. “Bringing manufacturing stateside was always the goal for DST America. It allows us to have greater control over production timelines, streamline operations, and ultimately provide our U.S. customers with even better service and support.”
DST reports the primary focus at the Lancaster facility will be the production of the Flexisor series of dehumidifiers. These custom-designed dehumidification systems are specifically tailored to meet the varying needs of process industries, including food production and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
DST's Flexisor Dehumidifiers in the United States
The Flexisor series is designed for versatility and exceptional performance. Each system is built around a desiccant rotor, the core component responsible for moisture removal from the air.
“Our design allows for complete flexibility in customizing these systems to individual client specifications,” Burner explains. “This includes factors like airflow requirements, pre-cooling or post-heating needs, and desired dehumidification levels.”
Flexisor systems can handle a wide range of airflow capacities, making them suitable for a variety of process applications. Easy cleaning and maintaining good hygiene levels are essential considerations in industrial settings. The smooth interior design minimizes the potential for dust or debris build-up within the dehumidifier. For especially demanding environments, DST also offers stainless steel panels as an optional add-on.
Lancaster Location Offers a Variety of Benefits
Burner notes that the newest location offers a long list of benefits to DST and the end user. “This is a strategic move to elevate the customer experience,” he says. “U.S. production significantly reduces lead times. Imagine needing a critical dehumidifier system for your production line – waiting weeks for a shipment from overseas can disrupt your entire operation. DST America can ensure faster delivery times with U.S. manufacturing, minimizing downtime and keeping your processes running smoothly.”
The Pennsylvania facility also supports responsive after-sales support. “Having a dedicated U.S. team readily available makes it easier to service equipment,” Burner adds. “DST America’s team can be on-site quickly to address technical concerns, troubleshoot any issues, and ensure your Flexisor dehumidifier operates at peak performance. This personalized approach builds trust and strengthens long-term customer relationships.
DST Continues to Grow
Burner says, “We’re very optimistic about the future. We continue to grow. The new facility strengthens our position as a leading provider of industrial dehumidification solutions in the U.S. It allows us to be more responsive to customer needs, provide exceptional service and support, and ultimately contribute to the success of our clients’ processes. We’re committed to continuous innovation and improvement, and the Lancaster facility serves as a strong foundation for our future growth here in the U.S.”
