Mitsubishi to begin IT cooling production in US
30th July 2026
USA: Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric is to establish a new US company, MEHITS US Inc, in Mason, Ohio, to manufacture IT cooling equipment.
An investment by Mitsubishi Electric US Holdings Inc of approximately $30m will see the renovation and repurposing of part of a production facility operated by Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America.
Production is scheduled to begin in April 2027. Mitsubishi Electric plans to grow its IT Cooling systems business and strengthen its one-stop service capabilities, which provides integrated support from system design proposals for IT Cooling equipment to sales and maintenance.
The unit will occupy around 14,000m2 of manufacturing floor space within the current 60,000m2 facility which has occupied the site since 1987.
Local production is expected to shorten lead times from production to delivery, ensure a stable product supply, and develop products based on local customer needs. The move will also enable it to expand its product lineup to include equipment compatible with liquid cooling.
Currently, Mitsubishi Electric’s industrial infrastructure business in the United States is led by Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, which provides IT Cooling equipment in combination with power supply systems, including uninterruptible power supplies, to its customers. The IT Cooling systems are developed and manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems SpA, headquartered in Italy.
