S+S Industries to Build Data Center Component Facility in North Jacksonville

S+S Industries received a city permit on Nov. 11 to build a production facility in North Jacksonville aimed at supplying the growing data center market.

The Houston-based manufacturer will occupy 55,080 square feet of space within the Eastport Exchange, according to a report by the Jax Daily Record. The project involves tenant improvements totaling $231,171 for the unit located at 10175 Inlight Way.

This expansion places the company directly in the path of the massive infrastructure build-out required by modern computing. By establishing a footprint in Jacksonville, S+S Industries intends to serve a diverse base of original equipment manufacturers that supply power distribution equipment to hyperscale and enterprise data center operators.

“S+S industries will start operations by year-end,” Trevor Berecz, senior vice president of developer InLight Real Estate Partners, told the Jax Daily Record.

The facility will focus on the storage, distribution, and light production of copper, busbar, and other essential electrical components. Specifically, the company produces plated bus bars, which function as conductors or assemblies used to collect electric currents and distribute them to outgoing feeders.

S+S Industries describes itself as a turnkey provider for plating, coating, assembly, and warehousing. Their technical capabilities include fabrication, kitting, finishing, and scrap recycling for high-power electrical applications.

The Jacksonville site is part of a larger strategic growth phase for the company. Earlier this year, on June 4, 2026, the New York City-based investment firm Cerberus Capital Management L.P. completed an investment into S+S Industries, though the Andrews family has retained a large ownership stake.

The move into Florida follows a pattern of geographic expansion designed to capture market share in the electrification sector. The company’s existing footprint includes its core manufacturing hub on Navigation Boulevard in Houston and a 67,000-square-foot Canada Distribution Center in Surrey, British Columbia, which opened in the first quarter of 2026.

The Jacksonville expansion targets the specific needs of the data center industry, which requires constant, high-capacity power distribution. As these facilities scale globally, the demand for specialized components like aluminum and copper bus bars has become a critical link in the supply chain.

Location	Function/Type	Size/Details
Houston, Navigation Blvd	Core Manufacturing Hub	Advanced fabrication & plating
Houston, Nunn Street	Specialized Processes	Operational support & flexibility
Surrey, BC, Canada	Distribution Center	67,000 square feet
North Jacksonville	Production & Distribution	55,080 square feet

While the company’s expansion is fueled by private investment, the move also relies on local expertise. Superior Industrial Group Inc. has been approved to handle the tenant improvements, and Michael Blake Architects LLC is serving as the architect for the project.

“With the acceleration of data center development, S+S is well positioned to scale alongside the infrastructure build-out and capture growth opportunities across adjacent electrification end markets,” the company said in a news release.
