JOHOR BAHRU – November 06, 2026 -- EPG Modular Data Center has topped out its roughly US$120 million Free Industrial Zone (FIZ) factory in Senai Airport City (SAC), Johor. The 107,450-square-meter site is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2027.

Plant is projected to rank among the largest single-site MDC module bases

The facility includes 70,000 square meters of production space. By production capacity, it is projected to rank among the largest single-site data center module manufacturing bases in the modular data center (MDC) sector. Once fully operational, it is expected to employ more than 800 people locally.

The topping-out ceremony featured the raising of the final structural beam and a facility tour. Guests included representatives of the Johor State Government, SAC and other government agencies, along with business partners, customers, financial institutions and investment firms.

DONGGUAN – November 02, 2026 -- Dongguan Taixun Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (TaixunPOS) says its 6,000-square-meter plant in China's Guangdong province can produce about 10,000 POS terminals a month for OEM/ODM partners building their own brands.

TaixunPOS replaces plastic housings with unibody aluminum-alloy chassis

The manufacturer says plastic POS terminals are prone to poor heat dissipation and housing wear under intensive use. Its aluminum-alloy chassis is designed to improve thermal performance and durability. The fanless design removes mechanical cooling fans, which the company says can reduce dust and grease ingress, depending on enclosure design, and cut maintenance costs over time.

The terminals use industrial PCAP multi-touch screens and high-brightness, wide-viewing-angle IPS displays. TaixunPOS targets restaurants, cafes, stores and hotels.

Expansion lifts Charles City capacity by about 25% to nearly one million liters

The contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) expects to complete the project in the fourth quarter of 2028. The added volume raises the site's total capacity by approximately 25%, to nearly one million liters.

Cambrex held a groundbreaking ceremony on October 29 with company leaders, employees, state and local officials and members of the Charles City community. The start of construction coincides with the site's 100th anniversary.

DAYTON, Minn. – October 29, 2026 -- Gradian Thermal Solutions has opened a 500,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Dayton, Minnesota, a roughly $60 million investment that lifts its total manufacturing footprint to approximately 780,000 square feet.

Dayton plant has been producing since June and is still ramping up

Production began at the site in June, and Gradian continues to add capacity. The company expects the facility to support what it describes as strong and growing demand from data center, industrial and commercial customers.

The plant joins Gradian's 180,000-square-foot facility in Maple Grove, Minnesota, and its 100,000-square-foot site in Guadalajara, Mexico.

MILAN – October 29, 2026 -- Bracco Imaging will invest $230 million to build its first U.S. manufacturing facility for injectable contrast media in Sanford, North Carolina, creating an expected 200 jobs.
