LITEON Technology (2301.TW) has announced a strategic investment in DCX POLSKA Sp. z o.o., also known as DCX Liquid Cooling Systems, a Warsaw-based company specializing in advanced liquid cooling solutions for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data centers.
Following completion of the transaction, LITEON is expected to acquire an approximately 25% stake in DCX Liquid Cooling Systems through an investment valued at around US$176 million. The partnership combines DCX’s expertise in liquid cooling technologies—including coolant distribution units (CDUs), facility coolant distribution units (FDUs), cold plates and immersion cooling—with LITEON’s capabilities in AI server power management, rack-level power delivery and 800VDC power architectures.
By bringing these complementary technologies together, the companies aim to develop integrated power and thermal management solutions designed to address the growing demands of AI infrastructure and next-generation, high-density computing environments.
The rapid growth of AI-driven workloads is pushing data center rack power densities to new levels, increasing the need for advanced liquid cooling technologies to support next-generation data centers and high-performance computing environments. Established in 2019 and based in Warsaw, Poland, DCX Liquid Cooling Systems has developed strong expertise in direct-to-chip and immersion cooling solutions, along with sophisticated capabilities in the design and integration of liquid cooling infrastructure.
Its portfolio spans a broad range of applications, including enterprise coolant distribution units (CDUs) with capacities from 600kW to 2.6MW, hyperscale facility CDUs supporting workloads of up to 16MW, as well as cold plates, rack manifolds and modular data center solutions.
As part of the strategic partnership, LITEON and DCX Liquid Cooling Systems plan to deepen cooperation in product development, engineering, manufacturing expansion and global market initiatives. The two companies will also work together to create integrated power and cooling solutions capable of meeting the growing performance, scalability and energy-efficiency requirements of hyperscale data centers around the world.
“As we continue to invest in advanced technologies, this strategic investment further strengthens LITEON’s position across the AI data center value chain. Through this partnership, we look forward to advancing innovation and creating new possibilities in the rapidly expanding AI market. LITEON will continue to engage with global partners that possess deep technological expertise and strong strategic synergies, strengthening cross-domain technology integration through both strategic investments and long-term collaboration. By bringing together complementary capabilities across the AI data center value chain, we aim to advance a more resilient and comprehensive AI infrastructure ecosystem, expand system-level solution capabilities, and create sustainable competitive advantages for the next era of computing.”
