# Flex buys data-center power maker EPC Power for $4.4 billion

*2026-09-04 · Source: [Data Center Dynamics](https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/flex-acquires-data-center-power-conversion-manufacturer-epc-power-in-44bn-deal/)*

Manufacturing giant Flex is acquiring EPC Power, a developer of 800-volt power conversion architecture used in data centers, in a deal worth $4.4 billion.

**Why it matters:** Power delivery, not just chips, has become a bottleneck for AI data centers, and 800V architectures are seen as a way to handle the higher power density next-generation AI racks require. A deal this size signals traditional manufacturers see AI power hardware as a durable growth market, not a passing spike.

**Topics:** infrastructure, chips
