Vertiv to Expand Ohio Manufacturing to Boost U.S. Production of Critical Thermal Management Technologies for AI Data Centers

Ironton, Ohio facility expansion strengthens supply chain and increases Vertiv’s liquid cooling and chilled water system capacity for high density computing

Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, announced an investment of ~$50 million 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 ~45% for these systems, helping Vertiv expand regional production, improve responsiveness to customer demand, and shorten supply chains.
