Modum Technologies Brings High-Tech Manufacturing and New Business Momentum to Northeast Ohio

The growth of Ohio’s tech economy continues with the arrival of Modum Technologies, a cutting-edge manufacturer specializing in modular cooling and power infrastructure for hyperscale data centers. With a new facility under construction in Solon, Ohio, the company is making a major investment in the region — and signaling new opportunities for startups, entrepreneurs, and business relocation in and around Summit County.

Solon Facility: A $150M Smart Manufacturing Campus

Backed by more than $150 million in investment, Modum Technologies is building a smart manufacturing campus designed to meet the demands of AI-driven and cloud-based data centers. The facility will focus on advanced modular systems — including liquid cooling units, energy converters, and AI-optimized power distribution systems — critical for companies like AWS, Google, and Meta as they expand their presence in Ohio.

The project is expected to create approximately 450 skilled tech and trades jobs by 2026, adding to the region’s growing reputation as a hub for next-generation technology and manufacturing.

Strategic Support and Economic Impact

The company’s decision to relocate operations to Ohio is powered by a combination of local and state incentives:

• JobsOhio is providing tax credits, R&D grants, and workforce training funds
• The City of Solon and Greater Cleveland Partnership are supporting infrastructure upgrades and workforce development programs
• Modum’s presence complements the Cleveland-Akron corridor’s strengths in automation, advanced materials, and smart energy systems

A Boost for Entrepreneurs and Startups in Summit County

Modum’s arrival is more than a win for Solon — it’s a signal to entrepreneurs and tech-minded business startups across Summit County and Northeast Ohio that this region is ready for innovation. From supply chain opportunities to talent partnerships, the presence of Modum adds momentum to a growing tech ecosystem.

And with a strong focus on sustainability and energy-efficient infrastructure, Modum aligns with Ohio’s broader goals of becoming a national leader in clean technology and renewable-powered data centers.

For startups, innovators, and relocating businesses, Northeast Ohio continues to prove it's where the future is being built — and Modum Technologies is helping lead the way.
