Flex has ramped up its US manufacturing capacity to address the escalating demand for data center power solutions, driven by the AI boom. The company announced a significant expansion of its facility in Columbia, South Carolina, which now dedicates 134,000 square feet to producing critical power products like databar, power distribution units (PDUs), and remote power panels (RPPs). This move aims to shorten lead times for US data center operators grappling with the power needs of compute-intensive AI applications.
