Fabric8Labs enters into definitive agreement to join TDK’s global manufacturing network, expanding customer access to breakthrough Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing technology through global production reach and supply chain resilience.
Fabric8Labs, Inc., the pioneer of Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM), has announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by TDK Corporation. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances. By entering TDK’s global manufacturing network, Fabric8Labs’ ECAM technology would gain the production scale, supply chain resiliency, and operational infrastructure needed to serve a rapidly growing base of enterprise customers across data center infrastructure and next-generation electronics.
Fabric8labs’ ECAM technology addresses high-growth markets including advanced liquid cooling for data center infrastructure, passive components for power regulation, and RF components for wireless communications systems. Backed by TDK’s worldwide manufacturing network, ECAM will be positioned to support a significantly broader customer portfolio — with the quality systems and geographic reach that tier-one OEMs and hyperscale operators require.
ECAM unlocks a new level of product performance across the electronics value chain. In data center deployments, where thermal management is an increasingly critical constraint on compute density and system reliability, ECAM enables advanced liquid cooling products that reduce accelerator temperatures by up to 7 °C/kW compared to competing solutions. For hyperscale operators and OEMs, that margin translates directly into increased silicon power densities, higher rack densities, improved energy efficiency, and extended component longevity — outcomes that grow in importance with each successive generation of GPU and accelerator platform.
For Fabric8Labs’ leadership, joining TDK’s manufacturing network will be the culmination of a deliberate effort to match a breakthrough technology with the infrastructure capable of delivering it at scale.
“Joining TDK group is a defining moment for Fabric8Labs, our technology, and most importantly our customers. We developed ECAM to solve manufacturing challenges at the frontier of performance — and we always knew that reaching its full potential would require a network with global reach and operational depth. TDK is that network. I’m proud of what our team has built, and I’m energized by what we will accomplish together,” said Jeff Herman, CEO and Co-Founder of Fabric8Labs.
“Fabric8Labs’ ECAM technology is exactly the kind of foundational manufacturing innovation we look for — one that doesn’t just improve on TDK’s existing solution but enables products and performance levels that weren’t previously achievable, contributing to the transformation of society.” said Noboru Saito, President & CEO, TDK Corporation. “As data center infrastructure continues to scale and the performance demands on advanced electronics intensify, we envision that by bringing this technology into our global manufacturing network and providing products that determine the performance of next-generation data centers, it will be a significant advantage for our customers.”
“ECAM gives our customers a decisive performance advantage,” said David Pain, CTO and Co-Founder of Fabric8Labs. “With TDK’s global manufacturing network, we can deliver it at the scale their most ambitious programs demand, today and across their long-term roadmaps.”
