Infinitum, a pioneer in developing sustainable air-core motors, has recently been honored with Frost & Sullivan's 2025 Best Practices Award for Product Leadership in the North American Sustainable HVAC Motors sector.
This accolade highlights Infinitum's excellence in innovation, strategic business practices, and delivering customer value.
Advancements in Efficiency, Serviceability, and Sustainability
Infinitum has been acknowledged for integrating efficiency, serviceability, and sustainability
In the report titled "2025 Frost & Sullivan Product Leadership Recognition: The North America Sustainable HVAC Motors Industry Excellence in Best Practices," Infinitum has been acknowledged for integrating efficiency, serviceability, and sustainability within their electric motor design, particularly relevant to data center applications.
According to analysts, the motors from Infinitum provide robust performance across various load points, which makes them ideal for modern data centers where energy conservation, adaptability, and serviceability significantly influence both operational and financial outcomes.
Key Findings Highlighted
Frost & Sullivan identified two significant attributes of Infinitum's motors valued in data centers: sustaining high efficiency at partial loads and the capability to tailor the size of the motors to specific needs. This customization allows data centers to free up electrical capacity to allocate power to other essential functions, enhancing their Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
Additionally, Infinitum's modular architecture stands out for its operational benefits. This design allows field technicians to replace individual components without dismantling entire systems, contrasting sharply with competitors that necessitate full system removal and shipping for repairs.
Sustainability Contributions
Every 1,000 air-core motors by Infinitum can prevent 10,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions
Infinitum's commitment to sustainability is evident, with its technology offering considerable energy savings and emission reductions.
Over a decade, every 1,000 air-core motors by Infinitum can prevent 10,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions, a difference that data center partners value highly.
Impact of Air-core Motor Technology
"Combining high efficiency, appropriately-sized design, and embedded sustainability, Infinitum positions itself as a vital ally for critical commercial applications, particularly in the rapidly expanding data center market," stated Giselle Canahuati, senior consultant at Frost & Sullivan.
Ben Schuler, founder and CEO of Infinitum, noted, "Frost & Sullivan's award highlights the significance and applicability of our air-core motor technology for imperative industries at a time when AI power demand continues to escalate. We are steering a longstanding motor industry into a new phase and showcasing how data centers can reimagine power usage for improved environmental and financial outcomes."

Infinitum, creator of the sustainable air-core motor, now announced it has received Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Best Practices Award for Product Leadership in the North American Sustainable HVAC Motors industry.
The award recognizes the highest-performing market participant that demonstrates excellence in innovation, business strategy and customer value.
Efficiency, serviceability, and sustainability
According to the report “2025 Frost & Sullivan Product Leadership Recognition: The North America Sustainable HVAC Motors Industry Excellence in Best Practices,” Infinitum stands out for its ability to converge efficiency, serviceability and sustainability in electric motor design, and for its relevance in the data center market.
Analysts note that Infinitum motors “deliver consistently strong performance across variable load points, making them well-suited for modern data center infrastructure in which energy savings, flexibility, and serviceability directly impact operational and financial outcomes.”
Key findings
- Efficiency: Frost & Sullivan notes two differentiating features valued by the data center segment: the motor’s ability to maintain high-efficiency at partial loads and Infinitum’s ability to rightsize motors, which “enables customers to free up electrical capacity, allowing data centers to reallocate power to other critical functions and improve their PUE.”
- Serviceability: Analysts note Infinitum’s modular architecture enhances uptime and operational continuity by allowing “field technicians to replace individual boards without disassembling entire systems. This approach sharply contrasts with competitor offerings that require full system extraction and shipment for repair.”
- Sustainability: The report states that “Infinitum delivers significant sustainability impact through energy savings and emissions reduction,” estimating that over a 10-year period, every 1000 of the company’s air-core motors contribute to avoiding 10,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions, a key differentiator especially valued by data center partners.
Air-core motor technology
“By combining high efficiency, right-sized architecture, and integrated sustainability, Infinitum continues to position itself as a strategic partner for mission-critical commercial applications, particularly in the fast-growing data center segment,” said Giselle Canahuati, senior consultant at Frost & Sullivan.
“Frost & Sullivan’s award underscores the importance and relevance of our air-core motor technology for mission-critical industries at a time when AI power demand shows no signs of slowing down,” said Ben Schuler, founder and CEO, Infinitum.
“We’re leading a century-old motor industry into a new era and demonstrating how data centers can rethink how power can be used, managed and conserved –– while positively contributing to the bottom line, the electric grid and the environment.”
