MIAMI TWP. — Accelevation, which manufactures infrastructure for data centers, is unifying its heritage brands ahead of further planned growth.

Conatech, Revolution Iron Works, Coach Tool & Die, Instor and Southeast Tool will operate as Accelevation, a move the rapidly-expanding company said will establish it as North America’s “most comprehensive” single-source provider for data center infrastructure solutions.

“We are 100% focused on data center infrastructure,” spokesman Russ Neale told this news outlet. “The things that run the internet, that run artificial intelligence, that run mobile computing, all that, those are data centers, and what our company does is build out the structure and the containment, all the things that you need outside of the servers, the actual computers that help those things run.”

In the companies’ previous iteration, customers turned to one or more of those separate brands for a specific service, Neale said. Being able to go directly to Accelevation rather than several different brands saves customers time, hassle and money, he said.

“This integration is a game-changer for the data center industry,” Michael Rubiera, the company’s president and CEO, said in a release. “By uniting our heritage brands, we’re giving our customers access to a fully self-managed domestic supply chain that delivers speed, adaptability and cutting-edge innovation to meet their evolving needs.”

Accelevation, which was founded by Rubiera in 2018, employs 400 people. He previously said that as the company continues to expand in the region, its need for manufacturing and office space has grown rapidly.

It recently leased a new 260,000-square-foot facility at First Flight Commerce Center in Miami Twp. and is building it out ahead of planned April grand opening, he said. It plans to move 65 employees there from other locations and make between 125 and 175 new hires from the region throughout this year.

Accelevation had initially planning to consolidate all three of its facilities in Miami Twp., Centerville and Springboro into the new First Flight facility, but rapid growth means it will now retain the Miamisburg site at 519 Byers Road along with its headquarters at 9555 North Springboro Pike in Miami Twp..
