Crusoe Launches ‘Spark Factory’ to Accelerate Production of Modular AI Infrastructure

Crusoe

Crusoe, a vertically integrated provider of AI infrastructure, has announced plans to expand its manufacturing capabilities with a new production facility in Brighton, Colorado. The site, called the Spark Factory, will focus on building Crusoe Spark™, the company’s modular AI factory designed to rapidly scale compute capacity for its Crusoe Cloud platform and managed AI services.

The new facility comes alongside the introduction of Crusoe Edge Zones, a cloud offering that enables low-latency AI computing in targeted locations worldwide. Together, these initiatives reflect Crusoe’s broader strategy of tightly integrating energy sourcing, data center manufacturing, and cloud services into a unified infrastructure stack for artificial intelligence workloads.

“Speed is core to Crusoe’s DNA, and is the primary driver behind our new Spark Factory – allowing us to move beyond traditional construction methods to deliver AI infrastructure in a modular productized form factor with velocity,” said Cully Cavness, Co-Founder, President, and Chief Strategy Officer of Crusoe. “By manufacturing modular data center units in-house, we can rapidly scale our Crusoe Cloud and Managed Inference offerings.”

Crusoe Spark units are prefabricated, modular data centers built to deliver high-performance AI computing closer to where data is generated. Each unit integrates essential infrastructure such as power supply, cooling systems, remote monitoring capabilities, fire suppression, and high-density server racks into a single deployable platform. These modular systems are designed for a variety of AI applications, including low-latency inference, sovereign AI deployments, on-premise computing, and large-scale training clusters.

The company says the modular design allows infrastructure to scale from hundreds of kilowatts to hundreds of megawatts by deploying individual units or grouping them into larger clusters. By treating data centers as manufactured products rather than traditional construction projects, Crusoe expects to reduce deployment timelines to as little as three months.

Crusoe Spark modules are also built to operate with a range of energy sources, including solar power, grid electricity, natural gas generation, repurposed electric vehicle batteries, and potentially small modular nuclear reactors in the future. The company also plans to introduce liquid-cooled versions of the modules in late 2026 to support next-generation high-density GPU clusters.

The 352,000-square-foot Brighton facility represents an investment of more than $200 million and is expected to create over 200 jobs locally, reinforcing Crusoe’s growing manufacturing footprint across Colorado and other U.S. states.
