Wiwynn and Shinwa Controls Partner to Solve AI Data Centre Heating Challenges
Amsterdam, Thursday 4 June 2026
After three years of joint engineering, Wiwynn and Shinwa Controls are partnering to deploy advanced liquid cooling systems, directly tackling the immense heat generated by modern AI data centres.
Scaling Thermal Management for the AI Era
On 2 June 2026, Taiwanese cloud IT infrastructure provider Wiwynn Corporation (TWSE: 6669) formalised a strategic collaboration with Shinwa Controls Co., Ltd [1]. The partnership aims to supply production-ready server liquid cooling infrastructure, specifically high-efficiency Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) and coolant distribution systems, to global Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) [1]. This definitive agreement is the culmination of three years of rigorous joint engineering, validation, and product co-development that commenced in June 2023 [1].
The Push for Advanced Cooling Hardware
From the perspective of high-tech systems and materials (HTSM), refining these cooling mechanisms is critical for maintaining infrastructure stability and preventing catastrophic hardware failures [GPT]. Takuji Yamamoto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shinwa Controls, stated that validating their advanced thermal systems alongside Wiwynn’s hardware for elite cloud operators has allowed Shinwa to meet rigorous standards for efficiency and uptime [1]. Yamamoto emphasised that the collaboration cements Shinwa’s position as a market-ready supplier capable of enabling the world’s largest data centres to scale their AI infrastructure safely and sustainably [1].
Financial Backing for Liquid Cooling Innovations
The financial markets are clearly recognising the necessity of these advanced hardware solutions. Recently, ZutaCore successfully secured $100 million in a Series C funding round to propel its global commercialisation and research and development efforts [2]. The funding round attracted significant capital from major industrial and technology conglomerates, including Mitsubishi Electric, Carrier Ventures, and Samsung Electronics, via its venture capital arm, Samsung Ventures [2]. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent for the capital raise [2].
A Strategic Shift in Infrastructure Investment
As data centres transition into critical nodes for global AI and quantum computing networks, the hardware required to sustain them is undergoing a radical transformation [GPT]. The concurrent developments of Wiwynn scaling its DLC systems with Shinwa Controls and the substantial venture capital flowing into ZutaCore’s two-phase cooling technology underscore a critical pivot in infrastructure investment [1][2]. For venture capitalists and operators managing energy-intensive facilities, integrating advanced thermal management systems is no longer an optional upgrade but a fundamental requirement to ensure operational viability and environmental sustainability in the AI era [GPT].
