Kontron has initiated several expansions regarding its computing hardware. In Huntsville, Alabama, the company began U.S. production of its rugged VX307H computing platform at its subsidiary, Nextek. This transition from a build-to-order to a build-to-stock model is intended to enhance supply-chain resilience and reduce delivery times for U.S. defense customers. The facility is expected to expand production to include VX3060 and VX30101 products.

Additionally, the company expanded its KBox F series with the introduction of two new industrial computers, the KBox F-203-RPS and KBox F-204-RPS. These models are designed for Industry 4.0, edge computing, and industrial IoT applications, featuring various Intel Core processor configurations and support for high-connectivity or data-intensive workloads.
