FRIEM Scales U.S. Production to Boost Global Expansion and Local Industry Support 

FRIEM has inaugurated its newly expanded production facilities in Columbus, Ohio, reinforcing its U.S. expansion strategy and enhancing its capacity to deliver high-efficiency power conversion systems to key industries including green hydrogen and aluminum processing. 

This milestone follows the establishment of FRIEM America and the acquisition of DynAmp, reinforcing the Group’s long-term vision of international growth.  

Strengthening Our Global Footprint 

The expansion reflects FRIEM’s strategic commitment to delivering advanced power conversion solutions that align with the fast-changing needs of the industrial sector. 

While it enhances our presence in the U.S. market, it also strengthens the Group’s mission to serve the Americas with greater reliability, efficiency, flexibility and localized customer support across multiple sectors. 

“This expansion is a direct response to our customers’ growing needs in North America,” said Matteo Rimoldi, FRIEM America Area Manager. “With closer proximity and faster delivery, FRIEM America is now better equipped to respond quickly, operate more efficiently, and deliver greater value across the region—while ensuring full compliance with U.S. regulations.” 

Supporting Key U.S. Industries 

With increased production capacity, FRIEM America is now better positioned to support a broad range of industries requiring high-efficiency power conversion, including:

• Aluminum processing
• Chemical production
• Metal refining
• Green hydrogen production
• Other applications require high-efficiency power conversion.

Evolution in Continuity 

This investment exemplifies FRIEM’s philosophy of evolution in continuity, preserving the values and expertise that have shaped the company for 75 years while expanding into new markets, technologies, and partnerships. 

“This is more than a local investment—it’s a Group-level strategic milestone,” said Lorenzo Carnelli, CEO of FRIEM. “It strengthens our international presence, projecting us as a U.S. manufacturer, leveraging the values and expertise that have guided FRIEM for 75 years.”
