Samsung Electronics has announced a substantial investment of approximately 240 billion won ($171.5 million) in the Gwangju, South Korea, to develop its HVAC business. This marks the largest investment in production facilities at the site since its establishment in 1989. The new production lines, spanning 21,800 square meters, will be built using technology from FlaktGroup, an HVAC specialist acquired by Samsung last year.
The facility will focus on producing cooling distribution units (CDUs), a critical component of liquid-cooling systems for AI data centers, beginning in 2028. Samsung plans to combine FlaktGroup's technology with its own SmartThings Pro platform and IoT building-management solutions to offer integrated HVAC solutions. This expansion aims to position Samsung as a global leader in the rapidly growing AI data center infrastructure market.
