As the continued adoption of artificial intelligence, energy
storage, and electric vehicles drives higher-power density systems
across consumer and commercial industries, liquid cooling has
emerged as a more energy-efficient alternative to air cooling for
many applications. This acquisition will provide Jabil with
critical capabilities for helping our customers manage the intense
thermal requirements of their current and next-generation products
while keeping sustainability and cost considerations top of
mind.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mikros Technologies to the Jabil
team,” said Ed Bailey, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology
Officer. “The thermal management capabilities they bring will allow
Jabil to extend the range of services we provide to cloud service
providers, hardware OEMs, and liquid cooling solutions providers.
In addition to the data center ecosystem, we see significant
opportunities in other end-markets that require thermal management,
including automated test equipment for semiconductors, batteries,
energy storage systems, and electric vehicles.”
For more than 30 years, Mikros Technologies has developed
innovative microchannel liquid cooling solutions to address complex
thermal management challenges. Their proprietary microchannel cold
plate designs enhance energy efficiency by effectively cooling over
one kilowatt per square centimeter. Mikros’s exclusive technologies
and capabilities will complement Jabil’s extensive portfolio of
data center lifecycle solutions, semiconductor test equipment
solutions, and energy and transportation solutions.
“Joining Jabil is a tremendous path forward for Mikros
Technologies. We can now scale our best-in-class liquid cooling
capabilities to meet the thermal demands of the world’s leading
brands alongside a high-performing team of people we enjoy working
with,” said Drew Matter, CEO of Mikros Technologies.
