The follow-up orders confirm a successful collaboration with an established major customer in the data centre equipment sector.
More significantly, the existing and newly acquired order volume is expected to surpass the total volume of the full previous year already in the first half of 2026, highlighting sustained high-growth momentum in this market segment.
Liquid Cooling: A Key Technology for AI-Driven Data Centres
Demand for high-performance cooling solutions in data centres is growing rapidly worldwide. Applications in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) are significantly increasing the power density of IT infrastructures, driving the need for efficient liquid cooling systems.
Conventional air cooling is reaching its physical limits, making liquid cooling an increasingly essential technology.
The CDUs supplied by technotrans handle the central distribution of the cooling medium within modern data centre architectures, enabling precise, scalable, and energy-efficient temperature control for today’s high-performance processors.

“These orders demonstrate what sets technotrans apart,” said Michael Finger, CEO of technotrans SE. “With our core competence in thermal management, we solve complex customer requirements in the dynamic data centre environment and are able to scale them accordingly.”
Strategic Alignment: ‘Ready for Growth’ and Energy Management Focus
The orders are assigned to the focus market Energy Management – a central growth driver of the Group’s Ready for Growth strategy. technotrans is leveraging its technological expertise and international footprint to sustainably meet rising demand and achieve further growth.
This structural technological shift – from air to liquid cooling – opens up long-term growth opportunities for technotrans in what the company describes as an attractive future market.
Capacity Expansion: New Plant Planned at Sassenberg Site
To enable further scaling, technotrans is making targeted investments in expanding its capacities. A new plant with a production and logistics area of more than 17,000 m² is planned at the Sassenberg site.
This expansion lays the foundation for efficiently supporting future growth and capturing new market opportunities.
