New facility strengthens regional manufacturing, supply chain resilience, and deployment capabilities for power, cooling, and integrated infrastructure solutions.
Johannesburg, South Africa [July, 2026] — Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a
global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced the
opening of its manufacturing facility in Johor, Malaysia, expanding the
company’s manufacturing footprint to support growing demand for AI and
high-density computing infrastructure across Asia, including Southeast
Asia, North Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Strategically located in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing
industrial markets, the facility strengthens Vertiv’s ability to
support customers with regional manufacturing, engineering, logistics,
and deployment capabilities. The site benefits from strong regional
connectivity and proximity to key technology and customer hubs across
the region.
“Asia continues to be one of the fastest-growing regions for AI and
digital infrastructure investment, and expanding our manufacturing
footprint in Malaysia aims to further enhance our ability to support
customers with quality, speed, scale, and resilience,” said Giordano
(Gio) Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv. “This facility represents another
important step in our continuous capacity planning and deployment
strategy as we further expand our regional and global manufacturing
capabilities.”
Albertazzi added: “As compute requirements evolve across multiple
generations of AI infrastructure, customers need partners to provide
power, cooling, and infrastructure solutions at scale. The Johor
facility enhances our ability to help customers deploy critical digital
infrastructure more efficiently while supporting long-term growth across
Asia.”
