Denton Vacuum Secures New Orders Amid U.S. Data Center Growth
Denton Vacuum LLC, a prominent supplier of thin film deposition and etching systems, has announced a wave of repeat orders from established clients within the fast-developing U.S. data center sector. This latest acquisition covers three of Denton’s flagship products — the Integrity, Discovery, and Infinity systems — cementing the company's reputation as a premier provider of advanced coating technologies required for critical data center hardware.
The orders reflect an escalating need within the data center industry for high-performance optics, lasers, and photonic integrated circuit (PIC) components that are crucial for the evolving AI-optimized infrastructure. Specifically, these systems are to be employed in production settings, enabling the manufacturing of co-packaged optics along with necessary laser technologies. Customers have emphasized process stability, uniformity, and low-damage deposition capabilities as deciding factors for sticking with Denton’s products.
A recent forecast by Gartner, a leading research company, indicates that global data center expenditure is poised to rise by 31.7%, exceeding $650 billion in 2026, increasing from nearly $500 billion the previous year. Within this context, spending on servers alone is projected to jump by an impressive 36.9% year-on-year in 2026.
Frank Cumbo, the President and CEO of Denton Vacuum, commented on the implications of rapid data center growth: “The acceleration of U.S. data center buildout is creating new performance requirements across optics, lasers, and PIC components. Our customers consistently trust Denton to provide Integrity, Discovery, and Infinity solutions, which deliver unparalleled precision, repeatability, and the necessary control over film properties essential for high-reliability manufacturing at scale.”
