An Ohio-based manufacturing company is taking over a steel fabrication business headquartered in Mississippi.
Officials with Accelevation, which designs the interiors of data centers, among other functions, announced that the company has taken over operations at SteelPro in Houston and its site in Memphis.
The 42,000-square-foot SteelPro facility in Houston boasts a capacity of nearly 40,000 shop hours annually and will be used as part of Accelevation’s mission to deliver pre-manufactured data center infrastructure to its buyers rapidly.
“Speed and scale are the new currency in today’s data center market,” Accelevation CEO Michael Rubiera said. “With SteelPro, we are now vertically integrated in critical steel fabrication, ensuring faster execution, greater capacity, and the ability to scale at the pace our hyperscale and colocation customers require.”
SteelPro is also known for creating generator platforms, external steel structures, and cooling tower systems, along with its data center applications. The company’s founder, Jeremy Harrell, is hopping on board as part of Accelevation’s leadership team for his expertise in the field.
“Joining Accelevation is an exciting next chapter for SteelPro,” Harrell said. “Our company has always been about more than steel— it’s about our people, our community, and the pride of building together. Accelevation shares those values, and together we are better positioned than ever to deliver for our customers while creating new opportunities for our teams.”
Accelevation works with some of the largest hyperscalers in the world, including Amazon Web Services, which is currently in the process of constructing two multi-billion-dollar data centers in Madison County.
