Mikros Technologies, a Claremont-based company that engineers and manufactures liquid cooling solutions for thermal management, was acquired by  Jabil Inc., a publicly traded engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions company in Florida. The acquisition was completed Oct. 1. 

This acquisition will allow Jabil to help its customers manage the intense thermal requirements of their products as, according to Jabil, as liquid cooling has emerged as a more energy-efficient alternative to air cooling.  Jabil has more than 140,000 employees and generated $28.9 billion in revenue in FY 2024.  It has more than 100 sites globally and more than 40 million square feet of manufacturing space.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mikros Technologies to the Jabil team,” says Ed Bailey, senior vice president and chief technology officer for Jabil. “The thermal management capabilities they bring will allow Jabil to extend the range of services we provide to cloud service providers, hardware OEMs, and liquid cooling solutions providers. In addition to the data center ecosystem, we see significant opportunities in other end-markets that require thermal management, including automated test equipment for semiconductors, batteries, energy storage systems, and electric vehicles.”

For more than 30 years, Mikros Technologies has developed microchannel liquid cooling solutions to address complex thermal management challenges. Their proprietary microchannel cold plate designs cool over one kilowatt per square centimeter. Mikros’s technologies and capabilities will complement Jabil’s portfolio of data center lifecycle solutions, semiconductor test equipment solutions, and energy and transportation solutions. 

“Joining Jabil is a tremendous path forward for Mikros Technologies. We can now scale our best-in-class liquid cooling capabilities to meet the thermal demands of the world’s leading brands alongside a high-performing team of people we enjoy working with,” says Drew Matter, CEO of Mikros Technologies.
