ADATA has significantly expanded its industrial footprint in Brazil, opening a second factory in Manaus and increasing production of memory circuits and servers, in response to rising demand for advanced hardware in the region.
ADATA has widened its industrial footprint in Brazil with a second factory building in Manaus, effectively doubling manufacturing space at the site, while also starting production of memory circuits for mobile devices in Santo Antônio de Posse, São Paulo. The company is also moving its high-power server manufacturing operation for data centres to Manaus, in a shift it says will be completed in time for the line to begin work there in December 2026. According to ADATA, the expansion reflects rising demand for advanced memory, storage and server hardware in Brazil and the wider market.
The push follows a multi-year build-out of the company’s Brazilian operation. ADATA began industrial activity in Santo Antônio de Posse in 2017 with memory chip packaging and DRAM testing, added local DRAM module assembly in 2019, and opened its Manaus plant in 2021 with SMT assembly and testing for DRAM modules and SSDs. In 2024, it also began server production in partnership with Giga Computing. The company said the latest phase has been supported by investment in equipment, production capacity and process upgrades across both sites.
The Manaus site has already become a more significant part of ADATA’s industrial network. During an institutional visit in May 2026, Suframa said the plant was operating three shifts and employing more than 200 workers, while ADATA representatives said the site had exceeded initial expectations. The company has also been seeking additional industrial staff in Manaus this year, suggesting the expansion was already under way before the latest announcement.
ADATA said its Brazilian operation now has 510 direct employees across the two sites, with an extra 65 jobs expected from the server expansion by the end of 2026. It said 90% of output made in Brazil is sold domestically, and that the local business accounts for about 20% of the group’s global result. The company’s broader investment plan, first announced in 2024 at R$374 million, included R$290 million in financing from the BNDES and was designed to expand national production and introduce new technologies. ADATA is also assessing further opportunities in commercial automation, industrial automation and the automotive sector.
