Cooler Master plans to acquire 11 hectares of land for an expansion project in Bac Ninh province
Bac Ninh, Vietnam - Cooler Master, a leading manufacturer of high-performance computer components, is set to expand its operations in Bắc Ninh Province's Gia Bình Industrial Park. The company plans to lease an additional 11 hectares of land to increase its manufacturing capacity, with a focus on cooling modules for AI servers, machine learning systems, and precision liquid-cooled air conditioners for data centers.
The expansion is expected to boost Cooler Master's total investment in Vietnam to between $800 million and $900 million, aiming for around $3 billion in annual cumulative revenue. This move is supported by local authorities and is anticipated to enhance Cooler Master's global supply chain by attracting more vendors and partners.
Construction on the existing 10-hectare factory, currently underway, is scheduled to commence operations in early 2026. The facility will specialize in high-tech cooling solutions for AI and data centers. To support the expansion, Cooler Master also plans to build worker accommodations on the leased land.
Bac Ninh People's Committee has expressed full support for Cooler Master during the construction process, offering assistance with land allocation, planning information, and infrastructure development. The province is also committed to providing preferential policies for high-tech workforce training, particularly in AI.
In line with its commitment to innovation and workforce development, Cooler Master is investing in technical training and research-related infrastructure. While specific details on the AI research center and technical training school were not explicitly detailed in the available sources, the focus on AI server cooling technologies and worker accommodation implies that Cooler Master is building both technical capacity and human resources infrastructure as part of the expansion.
KTG Industrial, the developer of VSIP Bac Ninh 2, is also contributing to sustainable growth in the region. The LEED Gold-certified development at VSIP Bac Ninh 2 combines performance with lasting environmental impacts, as shown by the planting of 5,000 trees across 10 hectares of reforested land.
Bac Ninh's leadership has suggested that Cooler Master explore high-rise building models that integrate worker accommodation and vocational training to optimize land use and support long-term business growth. This expansion is expected to create a ripple effect in attracting high-tech investments to Bac Ninh, further strengthening the local industry ecosystem and global value chain.
