Chatsworth Products (CPI) has launched a multi-year expansion strategy to boost its manufacturing capacity in response to surging demand for hyperscale, AI-driven, and enterprise data center infrastructure. The initiative includes a major expansion at CPI’s facility in New Bern, North Carolina, positioning the company to deliver greater scalability and production flexibility.
The move comes as global data center construction accelerates, fueled by artificial intelligence adoption, massive cloud computing growth, and escalating data consumption. CPI said the additional manufacturing capabilities will enable it to deliver large-scale infrastructure projects more quickly while maintaining the adaptability required by fast-changing market needs.
“This initiative reflects CPI’s long-term investment in supporting the evolving needs of the global hyperscale market,” said Ted Behrens, CEO of Chatsworth Products. “We are expanding our manufacturing capabilities to ensure that our worldwide customer base has access to the infrastructure solutions they need, when they need them, as demand for AI and high-performance computing continues to surge.”
- Multi-year capacity expansion underway at CPI’s New Bern, NC, facility
- Designed to support hyperscale, AI, and enterprise data center infrastructure needs
- Increased focus on scalable production and flexible customization for large-scale deployments
- CPI portfolio spans racks, containment, enclosures, cable management, power management, and monitoring systems
🌐 Analysis:
The hyperscale and AI data center buildout is straining global supply chains, creating a pressing need for vendors to expand manufacturing footprints. Industry forecasts point to trillions in investment in digital infrastructure over the next decade, with hyperscalers racing to bring online facilities measured in hundreds of megawatts each. To keep pace, companies like CPI must scale production of critical enclosures, racks, containment systems, and power distribution hardware, which form the backbone of these deployments.
The challenge lies not only in meeting immediate demand but also in building manufacturing systems flexible enough to adapt to evolving designs, higher power densities, and rapid deployment schedules. Competitors including Legrand, Schneider Electric, and Eaton are also investing in expanded capacity and automation to address the same wave of demand. CPI’s expansion signals a broader industry trend: manufacturers will need to operate with hyperscale-like agility themselves, ensuring they can keep supply aligned with the aggressive growth trajectories of cloud and AI operators.
