It also highlights our commitment towards investing in production capacity to supply this high-growth market. Within our current footprint, including the new facility in Texas, we have a considerable amount of excess capacity. At the same time, we are focused on investing in new incremental capacity. This underscores our confidence in our data center customer relationships as well as the underlying fundamentals in the data center market in what we view will be a multi-year growth cycle. We view these orders as a fraction of a much larger pipeline of opportunity in which we are committed to capitalizing on," Mr. Fields concluded.
