Socomec has opened two new manufacturing facilities in Georgia and Ontario as the company expands production capacity to support rising North American demand for data center power infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The French-headquartered specialist in low-voltage electrical equipment inaugurated sites in Suwanee near Atlanta and Brampton near Toronto. The investment forms part of Socomec\u2019s wider strategy to strengthen regional manufacturing and deliver power technologies tailored to hyperscale and enterprise data centre operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 194,000 sq. ft Suwanee facility will produce Uninterruptible Power Supply systems and Static Transfer Switches. The site is expected to reach full production capacity in early 2027 and will employ 300 staff. Meanwhile the 150,000 sq. ft Brampton facility will manufacture high-efficiency transformers and Power Distribution Units and currently employs 170 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Socomec said growing Artificial Intelligence workloads are accelerating electricity demand across the global data center industry. Gartner forecasts that global electricity demand from data centers will double by 2030 while the worldwide data center construction market is projected to rise from US$181.51 billion in 2025 to US$440.06 billion in 2035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivan Steyert CEO, Socomec Group, said local manufacturing would improve industrial agility reduce lead times and help the company maintain close relationships with North American customers in a demanding and highly regulated market. Michele Putignano, CEO of North America, Socomec, said the region had delivered annual growth rates exceeding 20% for five consecutive years.
