ABB is acquiring Advantics, a French specialist in Silicon Carbide-based DC power conversion technology that achieves up to 99% efficiency, to expand its Direct Current portfolio and serve accelerating demand from data centres, industrial microgrids, and EV infrastructure.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, Cloud Infrastructure and Electric Vehicles.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you make components that feed into data centre power systems—cooling, distribution, monitoring—ABB just bought the efficient DC conversion layer and will now need suppliers who integrate with it at scale. Your customer for the past three years just became your customer's customer.
