Enerfab has signed a lease for a massive industrial space in Sharonville, where the Cincinnati-based company plans to install $25 million in equipment and bring nearly 200 jobs as part of a major build-out of its modular construction business. The move lands the company inside a 400,000-square-foot building just off Interstate 275, marking one of the region's more notable manufacturing expansions this fall.
According to the Cincinnati Business Courier, Enerfab plans to bring 200 employees to the facility to support its modular business unit, even as the outlet's own headline frames the project as creating nearly 200 jobs — a distinction the company has not yet clarified. The report notes the $25 million in equipment is earmarked specifically for that modular segment, which has become a growing piece of Enerfab's operations.
Per Local 12, Enerfab inked the lease over the summer for space in the Prologis-owned building at 2979 E. Crescentville Road, where it will occupy 234,000 square feet of the 400,000-square-foot structure. The station's report also confirms the expansion comes amid a huge order backlog in Enerfab's rapidly growing modular business segment.
A Company Riding Rapid Growth — And a New Owner
The Sharonville move follows a string of expansion milestones for the 125-year-old company. Enerfab launched Enerfab Modular, a fabrication business focused on modular construction, in Harrison, Ohio, in 2025, according to a company statement posted on its own website. That shop focuses on fabricating turnkey modular solutions for faster and more flexible field installation of data centers, power plants, and other advanced manufacturing facilities, the company says.
Enerfab has said it doubled in size over the three years leading into 2026, and as of February reported employing more than 4,000 people with annual revenues topping $700 million, per the same company statement. Combined, Enerfab companies logged more than 5.3 million labor hours in 2025, with that pace continuing to accelerate into 2026, the company reports.
The Sharonville lease also comes just months after Enerfab's acquisition by Quanta Services in July, as the station's report notes. That ownership change arrived while the company's modular division was already expanding rapidly, setting the stage for the equipment investment now planned for the Prologis building.
Building on an Earlier Harrison Expansion
This is not Enerfab's first recent bet on modular manufacturing in the region. The company announced an expansion plan in Harrison back in June 2024 with support from JobsOhio and REDI Cincinnati, a move expected to add 44 new jobs and $4.1 million in annualized payroll over three years, according to REDI Cincinnati. The Sharonville project represents a far larger scale-up by comparison, both in square footage and planned headcount.
Modular construction investment has been drawing attention elsewhere in Ohio and beyond this year. In Virginia, M.C. Dean announced a $412.5 million manufacturing expansion expected to add two factories and nearly 2,000 jobs, while closer to home, Bayer has outlined plans for a New Albany campus near Columbus that would eventually employ around 600 people, as reported by Cleveland.com. Those projects differ in scope and sector from Enerfab's Sharonville plans, but they reflect a broader wave of industrial investment across the state.
For now, key details of the Sharonville project remain unconfirmed, including the length and value of the lease and when the facility is expected to become fully operational. What is clear is that Enerfab is doubling down on modular manufacturing at a moment when, by its own account, order backlogs and labor hours are both climbing.
