Chinese Prefab Data Center Firm EPG Secures Over $100 Million in Series B Funding

EPG Closes Major Funding Round to Fuel Global AI Data Center Expansion

January 26, 2026

In a significant move for the digital infrastructure sector, Chinese prefabricated data center solutions provider EPG has completed a Series B funding round exceeding $100 million. The investment underscores the growing strategic importance of modular, rapidly deployable data center technologies, particularly as the global surge in artificial intelligence demands faster and more efficient computing capacity build-outs.

The nine-figure round was jointly led by Silicon Peak and Hong Kong-based private equity firm Forebright Capital. It also saw participation from prominent investors including Hillhouse’s GL Ventures, NRL Capital, YF Capital—backed by Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma—and Rockets Capital. The Shanghai-based company, which specializes in the research, manufacturing, and deployment of factory-built, pre-engineered data center modules, announced the deal via a WeChat post.

EPG, with a workforce of over 1,000 employees operating in more than 60 countries, plans to allocate the fresh capital toward expanding production capacity, replenishing working capital, and accelerating its international market penetration. A key focus will be ensuring product deliveries for high-power-density AI data centers. The company stated that the traditional construction model is struggling to keep pace with soaring computing power demands, creating what it described as “a huge market window” for prefabricated, modular solutions.

The funding will propel EPG’s aggressive expansion in Southeast Asia and Europe, targeting markets like Malaysia where local supply chain limitations and a shortage of skilled labor hinder conventional data center development. Founded in 2004, EPG maintains R&D centers in Shanghai and manufacturing facilities in Shanghai and Johor, Malaysia, supported by a network of subsidiaries and service centers across China, Singapore, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

This latest financing follows a period of strategic growth for the company, including the establishment of a Japanese subsidiary in Yokohama in July 2025 and preparations for future entries into markets such as Dubai, Spain, and the United States. Prior to this Series B round, EPG had raised tens of millions of dollars in its Series A and A+ rounds from investors including Eastern Bell Capital earlier in 2025.
