Specifically, the opportunities brought by the rollout of 5G networks present massive growth opportunities for Power Conversion given its leadership in technology, product quality, reliability, and life cycle services. In addition to telecom, the business is well positioned and currently capitalizing on key technology megatrends, such as the increased use of cloud computing, manufacturing automation, supercomputing, and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs), providing further drivers for its business growth.

“We’re thrilled to take this step in strengthening our power solution technology together with Power Conversion. Also, it will further cultivate a shared culture of innovation, driving even greater value for our customers,” said Jerry Hsu, Chairman of AcBel. “We believe that Power Conversion’s growing presence with customers in the data center, supercomputing, and EV infrastructure space will also lead to additional opportunities for AcBel’s product portfolio.”

The acquisition furthers AcBel’s commitment to creating cutting-edge technology. Moreover, it also expands its expertise in system solutions, designed to fuel strong growth opportunities for customers in many of its core business sectors. Collaborating with Power Conversion will also allow AcBel to grow its customer base in the U.S. It will also strengthen its local service capabilities and extend its network of global manufacturing facilities.
