Flex has significantly increased the production capacity for its data center power products—databar, professional development units (PDUs), and remote power panels (RPPs)—at its advanced manufacturing facility in Columbia, South Carolina.
This strategic expansion further augments the company's ability to meet the rising power infrastructure demands of the artificial intelligence (AI) era while reducing production lead times for U.S. data center operators.

With a dedicated capacity of 134,000 sq. ft., the facility complements the recently announced opening of a 400,000 sq. ft. Flex manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas. Both sites focus on critical power products, enabling faster, scalable production for a growing U.S. customer base.
Rapid AI adoption across sectors is increasing data center operators' need for reliable, efficient, and scalable power infrastructure solutions.
"Expanding dedicated production capacity in this strategic location demonstrates our commitment to tackling the power challenges inherent in compute-intense environments and enables us to better serve customers as they build out data centers across the U.S.," continued Chris Butler, President of the Embedded and Critical Power Businesses at Flex.

To support significant customer demand, Flex has strategically expanded its global manufacturing footprint by more than eight million sq. ft. since fiscal year 2024. This growth includes four new strategic locations, predominantly in the United States, achieved through both targeted acquisitions and organic capacity expansion initiatives.
As of March 31, 2025, Flex's U.S. presence encompasses over 13 million sq. ft. across 17 facilities.
Combined with its approximately nine million sq. ft. in Mexico, Flex commands one of the largest advanced manufacturing footprints in North America, supporting regionalized manufacturing strategies.
