Elexis, established in 2001, is a UK-based switchboard manufacturer specializing in the direct design and production of low voltage switchboards, with expertise in advanced technology.

The two companies have agreed to combine LS Electric's power equipment solutions for data centers and its in-house Power Test & Technology Center (PT&T) for testing and development capabilities with Elexis's local standard switchboard design and manufacturing expertise. Together, they will jointly develop high-specification switchboard solutions with high breaking capacity and enhanced safety, which are increasingly in demand, particularly for UK data centers.

Furthermore, leveraging Elexis's local manufacturing and technical support capabilities in the UK, the companies plan to strengthen their collaborative network, starting in the UK and expanding to other major European countries, to provide customized solutions for clients.

This agreement is significant as it targets the rapidly growing UK data center market and involves collaboration with a local company possessing distribution solutions and networks. LS Electric plans to use this partnership as a springboard to accelerate its entry into the global data center market. Initially, LS Electric aims to secure a foothold in the UK market based on its accumulated experience in the domestic data center business and has outlined plans to participate in the UK distribution network operator (DNO) market and expand into the broader European market in the future.

Recently, the global data center market has been experiencing rapid growth due to the expansion of cloud services and increased demand for AI infrastructure. The UK data center market is estimated to reach approximately $15.23 billion (about 21.8855 trillion KRW) in 2025 and is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 13.3% through 2030.
