AIRSYS ANNOUNCES FIRST EUROPEAN MANUFACTURING FACILITY EXPANDING GLOBAL PRODUCTION AND REGIONAL CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Airsys Cooling Technologies, a global leader in missioncritical cooling, has announced the establishment of its first European manufacturing facility in Hungary, marking a significant milestone in the company’ s global expansion and a long-term commitment to localised production and regional growth.
The new facility, located in Páty within the Budapest metropolitan area, spans more than 11,000 square metres and is designed to serve as a future centralised hub for European manufacturing, assembly and quality assurance. The site will also support advanced production processes while enabling closer collaboration with customers, partners and suppliers across Europe.
“ With today’ s announcement of our Hungarian facility, Airsys is taking a decisive step in bringing manufacturing closer to our European customers,” said Yunshui Chen, CEO and Founder, Airsys.“ This investment reflects our commitment to regional resilience, operational excellence and delivering high-quality cooling solutions with greater speed and flexibility as global data centre infrastructure demands continue to evolve.”
The milestone will be marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Airsys leadership, regional partners and local officials. The event will feature executive remarks, guided tours of the manufacturing space and a showcase of Airsys technologies and solutions planned for production in Europe.
“ This facility represents an important foundation for Airsys’ continued growth in Europe,” said Matthew Thompson, Managing Director – Europe, Airsys.“ By establishing a European manufacturing footprint, Airsys is strengthening customer relationships, improving responsiveness and building the infrastructure needed to support the next phase of regional expansion.”
The Global Centre of Rail Excellence( GCRE) has extended its competition to secure an Energy and Data Centre Partner( EDCP) for its 700-hectare site.
GCRE is a new, purpose-built facility being developed in South West Wales for international rail research, testing and net zero technology development. The GCRE site has the potential to become Europe’ s leading cluster for rail innovation.
Potential bidders can register their interest in the opportunity by completing a‘ Conditions of Participation’ document, which runs from now until 12pm on March 10, 2026.
The site is located 30km from Bridgend and 50km from Cardiff, where data centre clusters are already forming.
In September last year, the organisation began its search for a partner to develop Renewable Energy Sources and a data centre on the site, a former open cast mine equivalent in size to Gatwick Airport. The plan is for the partner to develop the assets alongside the rail project.
Chief Executive, Simon Jones, said that‘ significant’ interest had been expressed in the site from developers in the energy and data centre sectors, but confirmed that bidders had requested more time to develop comprehensive proposals.
GCRE has therefore decided to extend its search for a partner into 2026, with a revised EDCP Invitation to Tender now available on the Sell to Wales platform.
