In a strategic move to address the surging demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure, Flex Ltd. has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to develop and manufacture modular AI data center systems. The partnership, announced on October 29, 2025, aims to leverage Flex's global manufacturing scale with NVIDIA's industry-leading AI technology to deliver high-performance, energy-efficient "AI factories" across the United States.
The alliance is designed to combine NVIDIA's advanced AI computing platforms with Flex's comprehensive portfolio of data center solutions. This includes Flex's expertise in rack integration, grid-to-chip power and cooling technologies, and end-to-end services. The goal is to create scalable, modular data centers that can be deployed more rapidly to meet the computational needs of next-generation AI applications.
A key component of Flex's strategy is its expanded manufacturing footprint in North America. The company highlighted a new 400,000 square-foot facility in Dallas, Texas, which is purpose-built for data center infrastructure. This expansion is intended to significantly shorten lead times and enhance supply chain resilience for U.S.-based customers.
In a testament to the partnership's depth, Flex is already deploying NVIDIA's AI solutions within its own operations. The company is implementing the NVIDIA cuOpt platform for capacity planning, route simulations, and process optimization. A pilot program is utilizing digital twin technology to unify inventory, labor, and freight data, aiming to streamline logistics across Flex's global network.
This new initiative builds upon the existing collaborative efforts between Flex and NVIDIA. In the data center sector, the companies are working to advance 800 VDC power infrastructure, a critical enabler for the megawatt-scale racks required for intensive AI workloads.
Furthermore, the collaboration extends into the automotive industry. Flex is integrating NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin systems-on-a-chip into its award-winning Jupiter design platform. The Jupiter platform recently received a 2025 Automotive News PACE Award for its role in helping automakers accelerate the delivery of software-defined vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) at scale.
