A Global Hub for Manufacturing, R&D and Application Engineering

Our Ho Chi Minh City facility serves as Subzero Engineering’s APAC manufacturing and R&D hub—and a global center of excellence for next-generation containment and airflow solutions.

Bringing factory space and engineering space together, the site supports:

• Manufacturing of hot and cold aisle containment, aisle frames, modular enclosures, and airflow management systems
• Application Engineering & R&D focused on AI, high-density computing, and hybrid cooling
• 24/7 engineering collaboration, with teams in Vietnam, the Americas, and EMEA working around the clock to solve customer challenges

By embedding engineering talent directly alongside production, we shorten design-to-deployment cycles, improve quality, and keep innovation tightly aligned with real-world data center needs.

Designed Around APAC’s Fastest-Growing Data Center Markets

The Asia-Pacific region is one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the world—characterized by higher power densities, diverse climates, and aggressive deployment timelines.

Our Vietnam facility puts us closer to our customers and their challenges, enabling:

• Regional responsiveness: Shorter lead times and reduced reliance on long-haul shipping and air freight
• Solutions tailored to local conditions: Containment and cooling designed for APAC climates, regulations, and grid realities
• “APAC for APAC” innovation: Local teams co-creating with customers on edge, AI, and next-generation data center designs

From Singapore to Sydney to Tokyo, customers benefit from solutions that are engineered globally—but optimized and delivered locally.

Faster Lead Times, Stronger Supply Chain

With Vietnam joining our existing facilities in the US and Dublin, Subzero now operates a more balanced and resilient global network.

Customers gain:

• Lead times reduced by up to 50%—in many cases, delivery in 4–6 weeks instead of three months
• Greater control over quality and timing thanks to local manufacturing and advanced ERP systems
• Reduced logistics risk and cost, with strategic proximity to ports, suppliers, and export hubs
• A second global hub that supports quick pivots and rapid customization to meet shifting demand across US, EMEA, and APAC

This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver consistent global product lines with the local flexibility each market requires.

Future-Ready, Low-Carbon Operations from Day One

The Vietnam facility is housed within a sustainability-focused industrial complex designed to minimize environmental impact and support long-term energy goals.

Key features include:

• Large-scale solar energy generation integrated across the industrial park
• High-performance building design with energy-efficient systems and low-power LED lighting
• Use of recyclable and sustainable materials in office and production spaces

Across our portfolio, Subzero solutions help data centers achieve meaningful energy savings—often around 30% cooling energy reduction when optimized containment and hybrid cooling are deployed.

By pairing a low-carbon facility with energy-efficient products, we align APAC operations with our global mission to lead in intelligent, sustainable data center infrastructure.

Growing Local Talent, Advancing Global Innovation

Subzero’s investment in Vietnam reflects our belief in the country’s engineering talent and innovation potential.

The facility will create 50+ highly skilled roles across:

• Software and application engineering
• R&D and product development
• Advanced manufacturing and factory operations

We are also exploring partnerships with universities and technical institutes to build internship and training programs that support a long-term, sustainable talent pipeline.

By tapping into Vietnam’s dynamic tech workforce, we strengthen our ability to design and deliver the next generation of containment, cooling, and airflow solutions—for APAC and for the world.
