DuroMax Power Expanding Generator Assembly Operations with Major Facility Investment in Tomball
A major investment in Tomball’s industrial corridor is set to strengthen the region’s growing role in power equipment manufacturing as DuroMax Power moves forward with a significant expansion of its facility at 18836 Telge Road in northwest Harris County.
Construction is scheduled to begin March 31, 2026, with completion anticipated by May 1, 2026, according to project filings. The approximately $9.6 million project will add new office space and operational capacity inside an existing 62,783-square-foot building, positioning the location as a key hub for generator assembly, storage, and business operations.
For residents and businesses across Tomball, Cypress, and northwest Harris County, the expansion represents another example of how the area’s industrial developments continue supporting regional economic activity while bringing manufacturing and logistics jobs closer to home.
Expanding Generator Assembly and Operational Space
The project involves a 5,246-square-foot office build-out inside the existing facility, which also includes a 57,537-square-foot shop area dedicated to generator assembly and storage.
Plans indicate the building will function primarily as a generator assembly and distribution center, with the second floor used for office operations supporting logistics, administration, and business management functions.
Facilities like this play an important role in the broader supply chain supporting backup power equipment, portable generators, and power solutions, products that have become increasingly essential for homeowners, contractors, and businesses across Texas.
Reliable power generation equipment has become especially important in the Gulf Coast region, where severe weather events and power outages have heightened demand for dependable backup generators and portable power solutions.

Who is DuroMax Power?
DuroMax Power is a U.S.-based manufacturer known for producing portable generators, home backup generators, water pumps, and engine-powered equipment designed for residential, commercial, and emergency use.
Founded in Ontario, California, the company has built a national reputation for manufacturing dual-fuel generators capable of running on gasoline or propane, a feature that has become increasingly popular among homeowners and contractors seeking flexible backup power options.
DuroMax generators are widely sold through major retailers and equipment distributors across the United States. Their product line includes models designed for home backup power during outages, jobsite electricity for construction crews, and emergency preparedness for disaster-prone regions.
Over the years, the company has focused on designing high-output portable generators with user-friendly features, including electric start systems, extended run times, and high-capacity engines capable of powering essential appliances or full-home systems when connected through transfer switches.
As the demand for reliable power equipment has grown nationwide—particularly in regions vulnerable to storms, extreme weather, or grid instability—companies like DuroMax have expanded their operations to support production, assembly, and distribution.
Why the Tomball Area Attracts Industrial Investment
Northwest Harris County has become an increasingly attractive location for industrial and manufacturing facilities thanks to its access to major transportation corridors including Highway 249, the Grand Parkway (SH 99), and U.S. Highway 290.
These connections allow manufacturers to efficiently move goods across the Greater Houston region and throughout Texas, while still maintaining proximity to a large workforce living in communities such as Tomball, Cypress, Katy, and The Woodlands.
Industrial developments like the DuroMax Power facility help diversify the local economy while supporting employment opportunities in manufacturing, logistics, engineering, and administrative operations.
They also contribute to the broader infrastructure that supports everyday needs—from ensuring reliable backup power equipment is available to maintaining supply chains for contractors, homeowners, and emergency response operations.

Supporting Growing Demand for Backup Power
Across Texas, and especially the Greater Houston Area, interest in home generators and portable backup power systems has surged in recent years following several high-profile weather events that disrupted electricity service across the state.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, demand for residential generators tends to rise significantly after major power outages, as homeowners and businesses look for ways to maintain electricity during future emergencies.
Companies specializing in power generation equipment have responded by expanding manufacturing and assembly capabilities to keep up with growing consumer demand.
The expansion of DuroMax Power’s Tomball operations reflects that broader trend, positioning the facility to support the continued distribution of generators and power equipment throughout the region.
What Happens Next
Construction on the facility improvements is expected to move quickly, with the project timeline targeting completion within approximately one month of its scheduled start date.
Once completed, the expanded space will support generator assembly operations, equipment storage, and office functions within the building.
For the Tomball area, the project represents another step in the continued evolution of northwest Harris County as both a manufacturing and logistics hub serving the greater Houston region.
As development continues across the region, projects like this highlight how local industrial growth often happens quietly—but plays a significant role in supporting infrastructure, job opportunities, and the everyday systems residents rely on.
