Vertiv to expand Ohio manufacturing presence

Vertiv (VRT) announced an investment of about $50M to expand its manufacturing presence in Ironton, Ohio, and its headquarters campus in Westerville, Ohio. The projects are expected to create hundreds of new jobs through 2029 and strengthen Vertiv’s ability to support growing customer demand for AI, high-density computing, and other critical digital infrastructure applications. The Ironton expansion, which is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2027, is planned to increase production capacity for Vertiv liquid cooling and chilled water systems used in advanced thermal management applications. With the expansion, total capacity at the facility is expected to increase by about 45% for these systems, helping Vertiv expand regional production, improve responsiveness to customer demand, and shorten supply chains.
