Mitsubishi Electric Establishes US IT Cooling Manufacturing Facility

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation will establish a new company, MEHITS US, Inc., in Mason, Ohio, to manufacture IT Cooling equipment for industrial infrastructure. Operating under Mitsubishi Electric US Holdings, Inc., the subsidiary will establish localized manufacturing to meet growing demand for IT Cooling systems in the United States.

Manufacturing Facility and Investment Details
The enterprise will invest approximately $30 million to renovate and repurpose a portion of an existing production facility operated by automotive electrical equipment manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America, Inc. Production at the Mason site is scheduled to begin in April 2027. The localized production system is designed to shorten lead times from manufacturing to delivery, ensure stable product supply, and support product development tailored to regional customer requirements for energy efficiency and liquid cooling compatibility.

Service Capabilities and Operational Drivers
The expansion is aligned with increasing investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure and generative AI applications, which require industrial facilities to operate stably and energy-efficiently. Establishing local manufacturing strengthens the company's one-stop service capabilities, which encompass system design proposals, equipment sales, and technical maintenance services for IT Cooling installations.

Corporate Structure and Product Integration
Currently, Mitsubishi Electric's industrial infrastructure operations in the United States are managed by Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc., which delivers IT Cooling equipment in combination with power supply hardware, including uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs). The cooling systems are developed and manufactured by Italy-based Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems S.p.A. The establishment of MEHITS US, Inc. supports company-wide business collaboration to integrate IT Cooling solutions directly with power supply components.
