SALT LAKE CITY, UT — November 1, 2026 — Subzero Engineering, a global leader in turnkey data center containment and mission-critical infrastructure solutions, announces a strategic alliance with USG Mission Critical Solutions, a division of leading building materials manufacturer USG Corporation.
Effective immediately, the alliance introduces USG DataConstrux™ Containment powered by Subzero Engineering, a portfolio of modular aisle containment solutions designed to deliver speed, performance, and scalability for modern data center environments.
As demand for data center infrastructure accelerates, operators, contractors, and developers face increasing pressure to deploy high-performance facilities quickly and efficiently. The alliance brings together Subzero Engineering’s specialized containment systems, engineering expertise, and installation capabilities with USG’s building materials solutions and technical resources.
Together, the companies aim to simplify the design-to-construction process by offering integrated systems that address the evolving requirements of modern data centers.
Combining Proven Containment Technology with Integrated Building Solutions
Data center containment requires the coordination of multiple systems and components, including doors, panels, structural ceilings, framing, and HVAC infrastructure. Traditionally, integrating these elements can introduce complexity during specification, procurement, and installation.
Through this alliance, Subzero Engineering and USG Mission Critical Solutions will provide integrated containment solutions, including both ceiling-mounted and floor-mounted systems, to support a range of data center applications.
From traditional hot aisle containment to infrastructure designed to accommodate emerging liquid cooling technologies, the collaboration will help customers address increasingly complex cooling and infrastructure requirements.
“We couldn’t be more excited to join forces with USG in this crucial initiative,” said Shane Kilfoil, President of Subzero Engineering. “We’ve heard loud and clear from our customers that they need high-performance materials to build strong containment systems, but they also need support and technical know-how to maximize their success. Together, we can offer everything they’re looking for in one place.”
Simplifying Data Center Design and Deployment
A primary objective of the alliance is to make it easier for customers to specify, source, and deploy integrated containment solutions.
By combining the technical expertise, product capabilities, and resources of both organizations, the alliance seeks to streamline project coordination, reduce installation complexity, and support faster deployment.
“What really excites me about this collaboration is the benefits it will yield for customers,” said Diane Earll, President of the Ceilings Division at USG. “USG Mission Critical Solutions and Subzero Engineering are joining forces at a critical time for our industry, when contractors need data center containment systems built right, built quickly, and built to last.”
Cheryl Han, Head of USG Mission Critical Solutions, emphasized the importance of simplifying project delivery.
“Our main goal in collaborating with the great team at Subzero Engineering is to simplify the design to construction process,” said Han. “Access to the expertise and materials of both our organizations, with a streamlined point of contact, means they can simplify the specification process and reduce installation time and rework.”
Supporting the Next Generation of Data Center Infrastructure
The alliance reflects a shared commitment to helping customers navigate the growing complexity of data center construction.
By combining Subzero Engineering’s specialized containment expertise with USG’s established building systems capabilities, USG DataConstrux™ Containment powered by Subzero Engineering offers an integrated approach to infrastructure designed for efficiency, flexibility, and long-term scalability.
The collaboration reinforces Subzero Engineering’s commitment to delivering precision-engineered solutions that simplify deployment, optimize performance, and support the evolving needs of the global data center industry.
