TORONTO, June 26, 2026 /CNW/ – Deloitte today announced the launch of a unified agentic intelligence network within Deloitte Omnia, Deloitte’s global audit and assurance platform, setting a new standard in how audit and assurance services are delivered.

Amfas Announces Maquila-Based Assembly and 3PL Logistics Services in Ensenada, Mexico

Published

on

By

Amfas International, a U.S.-based, ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing and supply chain partner with a global footprint and a legacy since 2002, today announced the launch of its new Maquila-based assembly, 3PL+ logistics, and quality services facility in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, with operations scheduled to commence in April 2026. This expansion marks a strategic advancement in Amfas’ ability to support OEM programs through integrated global manufacturing, nearshore assembly, and cross-border logistics – delivering greater speed, cost efficiency, and operational control across North American supply chains.

ENSENADA, Mexico, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Ensenada facility has been purposefully designed to deliver assembly, logistics, and tariff-deferral capabilities without the complexity or capital requirements of full-scale manufacturing operations. Situated in El Sauzal, Ensenada, in close proximity to the ocean port and major transportation corridors, the facility offers direct logistical advantages for companies serving the United States market. Its location enables faster transit times, streamlined cross-border movement, and flexible distribution models tailored to modern supply-chain requirements. As nearshoring continues to accelerate across North America, Ensenada has emerged as a strategic hub for assembly staging and cross-border logistics under Mexico’s maquila framework, providing a compliant and efficient alternative to traditional offshore models.

Amfas is helping U.S. manufacturers strengthen nearshore supply chains through Ensenada-based assembly and 3PL logistics, improving speed, control, and tariff efficiency.

The Ensenada facility introduces an enhanced 3PL+ service model structured under the maquila program, allowing customers to temporarily import goods duty-free for processing and re-export, while aligning with USMCA frameworks to support reduced tariff exposure and compliant cross-border trade. This structure supports inventory holding with deferred duty and tariff payments, direct-to-customer and direct-to-end-customer distribution models and coordinated cross-border logistics for U.S.-bound shipments. By leveraging this framework, customers gain greater flexibility in inventory positioning while mitigating tariff exposure and optimizing working capital. The result is a streamlined supply-chain model that aligns operational efficiency with financial prudence.

“Ensenada is the missing middle between offshore cost and onshore control. It gives customers faster assembly, inspection, and U.S.bound shipping while managing duty and tariff exposure intelligently, without tying up capital or building a full-scale manufacturing footprint.” says Steve Walker, Founder and CEO, Amfas International.

In addition to logistics services, the facility provides assembly-only operations supported by applicable free trade agreements. These services include mechanical and electro-mechanical sub-assemblies, box build and enclosure assembly, wire harness and cable assembly, as well as kitting, labeling, barcoding, and packaging. Operating within the maquila structure enables qualifying programs to benefit from reduced or zero-duty treatment, allowing customers to establish scalable nearshore assembly programs that integrate seamlessly with existing manufacturing footprints.

Quality assurance is embedded as a foundational component of the Ensenada operation. The facility offers comprehensive component and assembly inspections, sorting and rework services, First Article Inspection (FAI) reporting, and onsite mechanical measurement capabilities supported by a dedicated quality lab. Through the Maquila program, parts can be temporarily imported for inspection and rework at a zero-duty rate, enabling corrective actions and compliance verification without unnecessary financial burden. This integrated quality infrastructure ensures that customer programs meet rigorous performance and documentation standards prior to distribution.

The Ensenada operation has been developed to serve customers across automotive, industrial, and broader OEM supply chains seeking reliable nearshore assembly, logistics coordination, tariff mitigation, duty deferral, and quality assurance services. Early engagement with the Amfas team enables customers to strategically align inventory flows, establish assembly configurations, and implement logistics planning in advance of full program launches, ensuring a smooth transition and scalable growth pathway.

About Amfas International

AMFAS International, an American-owned and managed company with a strong legacy since 2002, combines domestic engineering expertise, quality assurance, logistics experience, and domestic stocking with a vast global manufacturing network. This strategic approach enables Amfas to support OEMs with sourcing, assembly, logistics, and quality services – delivering seamless, compliant, and scalable supply chain solutions that keep you ahead of the competition.

LAS VEGAS, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company anchored by Bitcoin (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of 48.5 acres of forested land to expand its Michigan AI Data Center (the “Michigan Campus”) to approximately 83 acres in total. This acquisition more than doubled the size of the Michigan Campus.

“We are thrilled to complete this acquisition and look forward to growing the Michigan Campus in an efficient and responsible manner,” stated Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. “The acquisition will provide us with the opportunity to solidify our Michigan Campus and provides a natural, long-term buffer between our operations and the surrounding area. With the recently announced signed master services agreement, this provides us the ability to build on the immense progress we have made over the years as we evaluate our overall expansion plans while we seek to maximize the service offerings available to potential customers at our Michigan Campus.”  

For more information on Hyperscale Data and its subsidiaries, Hyperscale Data recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read Hyperscale Data’s public filings and press releases available under the Investor Relations section at hyperscaledata.com or available at www.sec.gov.

About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”), is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the “Divestiture”) to occur in the second quarter of 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through Ault Lending, LLC, a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be shareholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.
