ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Jabil has announced the acquisition of Mikros Technologies, a manufacturer of liquid cooling solutions for thermal management.

Jabil said the continued adoption of AI, energy storage and electric vehicles is driving higher-power density systems, and liquid cooling has emerged as a more energy-efficient alternative to air cooling for many applications. The acquisition of Mikros will provide Jabil with the capability to help its customers manage the intense thermal requirements of their current and next-generation products while keeping sustainability and cost considerations in mind, the company said.

"We are thrilled to welcome Mikros Technologies to the Jabil team,” said Ed Bailey, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Jabil. "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."

Mikros Technologies' proprietary microchannel cold plate designs enhance energy efficiency by effectively cooling over 1kW per square centimeter, and its technologies and capabilities will complement Jabil’s portfolio of data center lifecycle solutions, semiconductor test equipment solutions and energy and transportation solutions, the company said.

"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, Mikros Technologies.
