LANCASTER, PA — Advanced Cooling Technologies is expanding its manufacturing footprint in Lancaster with a new 50,000-square-foot facility designed to support large-scale production of liquid-cooling components used in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure.
The expansion reflects growing demand for liquid-cooled data center systems as operators deploy increasingly powerful AI processors that generate more heat than traditional air-cooling systems can efficiently manage.
The new facility will produce single-phase and two-phase cold plates, components used to transfer heat away from processors and other high-density computing equipment. Initial production capacity is expected to exceed 500,000 cold plates annually through a phased ramp-up, according to the company.
The investment strengthens domestic manufacturing capacity for a segment of the data center supply chain that has become increasingly important as AI workloads drive higher rack-level power densities.
Bryan Muzyka, vice president of sales and marketing at Advanced Cooling Technologies, said customer demand is shifting toward liquid-cooling architectures.
“Thermal requirements in data centers are changing rapidly, and customers are designing systems with liquid cooling as a baseline assumption,” Muzyka said.
Cold plate technology has gained prominence as cloud providers, AI developers, and enterprise data center operators seek more efficient methods of cooling processors used in advanced computing applications.
The company said its products are designed for AI processors, accelerated computing platforms, and other high-density computing environments where traditional cooling approaches face practical limitations.
Devin Pellicone, head of data center solutions at Advanced Cooling Technologies, said customers increasingly require cooling systems that can be deployed at scale.
“They need cold plate solutions that are not only highly thermally efficient, but also reliable, repeatable, and scalable for high-volume deployment,” Pellicone said.
The Lancaster facility will serve as a U.S.-based production center as demand for liquid-cooling technologies expands alongside continued investment in AI infrastructure and next-generation data centers.
