en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. electrochemical additive manufacturing (ECAM) company Fabric8Labs announced that it has entered into a definitive acquisition agreement with TDK Corporation of Japan. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Through this acquisition, Fabric8Labs' ECAM technology will gain access to TDK's global manufacturing network, enabling production scale, supply chain resilience, and operational infrastructure to serve a rapidly growing customer base in data center infrastructure and next-generation electronics.
Fabric8Labs' ECAM technology targets markets such as advanced liquid cooling for data center infrastructure, passive components for power conditioning, and RF components for wireless communication systems. Supported by TDK's global manufacturing network, ECAM will be able to support a broader customer portfolio, meeting the quality systems and geographic coverage requirements of Tier 1 original equipment manufacturers and hyperscale operators.
In data center deployments, ECAM enables advanced liquid cooling products. Compared to competing solutions, this technology can reduce accelerator temperatures by up to 7°C/kW, directly translating into higher silicon power density, higher rack density, greater energy efficiency, and longer component lifespan.
Jeff Herman, CEO and co-founder of Fabric8Labs, stated that joining the TDK Group is a defining moment for the company, its technology, and its customers. The company developed ECAM to address manufacturing challenges at the frontier of performance, and TDK's network possesses the global reach and operational depth to realize its full potential.
Noboru Saito, President and CEO of TDK Corporation, stated that Fabric8Labs' ECAM technology is a fundamental manufacturing innovation that not only improves TDK's existing solutions but also enables previously unattainable levels of products and performance.
Fabric8Labs expects that enterprise customers will directly benefit from TDK's global manufacturing capabilities and quality systems, enabling higher-volume production plans without sacrificing the precision and performance offered by ECAM. This will allow Fabric8Labs to expand capacity and support a broader customer portfolio in data center infrastructure and advanced electronics.
David Pain, CTO and co-founder of Fabric8Labs, stated that with TDK's global manufacturing network, the company can deliver ECAM technology at the scale required for customers' most ambitious plans.
Following the closing, Fabric8Labs will continue to operate under its existing leadership team. New Enterprise Associates (NEA), which led multiple funding rounds for Fabric8Labs, reflected on the company's journey. Dr. Greg Papadopoulos, Venture Partner at NEA, stated that from the initial investment, NEA recognized that ECAM had the elements to become a foundational manufacturing platform. The team executed with discipline, proved the technology, and earned customer trust. Entering TDK's global manufacturing network will give ECAM technology the impact it deserves.
Headquartered in San Diego, California, Fabric8Labs was founded in 2015 and focuses on electrochemical additive manufacturing technology. TDK Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is a global technology company with total sales of $16.6 billion in fiscal year 2026 and approximately 107,000 employees worldwide.
