Significant change is coming to the thermal management market. 

Managing more heat in less space is now a common problem for engineers across various industries, such as power electronics, industrial automation, transportation, aerospace, defense, and energy storage. As power densities increase and tighter packaging concentrates heat in smaller spaces, thermal performance is no longer just a design consideration. It’s a critical factor in reliability, efficiency, and product success.  

At the same time, manufacturers are navigating growing pressure around supply chain resilience, sourcing strategies, lead times, and access to engineering support. It’s no longer just about components. Customer expectations are evolving along with the market. 

Customers need partners who can help solve increasingly complex thermal challenges from concept through production. 

Organizations are looking for greater collaboration, faster development cycles, stronger domestic manufacturing options, and thermal solutions that can support the progression from traditional air cooling toward more advanced liquid-assisted architectures. The future of thermal management is being shaped by companies that can combine engineering expertise, manufacturing depth, and scalable production all under one roof. 

Wakefield Thermal is the one shaping that future as we build our integrated platform for the next generation of power and industrial thermal management. 

Through the expansion of our Thermal Technology Center in Nashua, New Hampshire, we are building an environment focused on engineering collaboration, rapid prototyping, new product development, process validation, and production-ready manufacturing. These investments are designed to help customers move faster from design to deployment while maintaining confidence in performance and supply chain continuity.  

We're also expanding our domestic capabilities with technologies including friction stir welding, skived-fin manufacturing, tube-based cold plates, and advanced thermal assembly. This combined effort allows us to support a broader range of thermal requirements while helping customers reduce complexity by working with a single engineering and manufacturing partner. 

Wakefield Thermal can supply every element of a complete thermal solution. Everything happens all under one roof where we have the technologies needed to turn thermal challenges into production-ready solutions. 

The thermal market is changing. New challenges are emerging. New opportunities are being created. 

Wakefield Thermal is investing in the people, technologies, and manufacturing capabilities needed to help customers meet those challenges head on, today and into the future. 

More thermal technologies. More domestic options. One integrated partner.
