CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NN, Inc. (“NN” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that engineers and manufactures high-precision components and assemblies with six sigma quality, today provided an update on its expanding presence in the data center market, a key growth area for the Company.
NN has secured multiple new contracts with a leading global provider of AI infrastructure and data center computing equipment. As the industry shifts toward liquid-cooled equipment, NN is well positioned to serve this market. AI reasoning racks, based on an industry-leading chip requiring liquid cooling, will be installed in the U.S. for AI cloud computing, with NN supplying liquid cooling components. NN's existing liquid management products meet the precise requirements of these applications, aligning with the demanding performance and quality standards of AI data center and cloud customers.
Next-generation computing designs demand even higher power and heat dissipation, driving the development of advanced liquid-cooled computing systems and components. NN already produces products that exceed current requirements. With decades of experience delivering six sigma quality, micron-level tolerance parts for combustion engines, NN’s global expertise and manufacturing footprint directly support this emerging market.
Harold Bevis, President and CEO of NN, Inc., stated, "The liquid-cooled data center market is one of several new end markets we are pursuing, alongside medical, defense, electronics, and electric grid components. The AI data center market aligns perfectly with NN’s decades of expertise in fluid management and six sigma quality standards. For NN, this is a strategic and straightforward extension of our existing knowledge in managing gas, diesel, and hydraulic fluids to managing cooling fluids. The material science and technical requirements are very similar. Our motto, ‘never leak, never fail,’ has been proven over decades as a leading global provider of reliable parts used worldwide in vehicle solutions. We enter this market as a strong competitor from Day 1."
"We have secured a multi-year series of awards, prompting NN to invest in a major installation of 17 next-generation high-speed, high-precision CNC machines that will meet and exceed these requirements. This expansion is underway throughout 2026 and will complement NN’s existing portfolio of over 100 similar machines. We have the capability to produce these components in the U.S., China, Europe, and South America. This strategic win opens a global gateway for NN. The AI data center expansion for cloud providers is a global phenomenon, representing a multi-billion-dollar market that is rapidly scaling. These computing racks are the hardware foundation for the growing use of AI and cloud computing. Financially, these wins align with NN’s guidance to achieve $70 to $80 million in accretive new business during 2026, contributing significantly to this goal worldwide."
