Swiss piping vendor Georg Fischer (GF) saw Year-on-Year orders for direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems double in the first half of 2026.

The company has been cashing in on the AI boom, according to its mid-year report, which was released on Friday.

It notes: “For the data center end-market, where order intake doubled in the first half of the year, GF expanded its compelling offering of direct-to-chip liquid cooling solutions for the server room. Innovations included an energy-balancing valve for precise temperature control, and LiquidCore, which combines GF’s polymer piping, valves and instrumentation in prefabricated modules.

“With several proof-of-concepts ongoing and advanced discussions with hyperscalers and co-location firms, GF continues to see polymer-based solutions gain traction in the market based on higher energy efficiency, speed of installation and lower total cost of ownership.”
