Vertiv to expand Nové Mesto nad Váhom site for manufacturing. September 28, 2026 Paul Ryan, President of Vertiv EMEA, explains how a 22,000 square meter expansion of the Slovakian campus will boost AI and liquid cooling production What started as a manufacturing facility in Nové Mesto nad Váhom, Slovakia, is now set to become one of Vertiv's largest integrated campuses in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. An expansion of the campus will add roughly 22,000 square metres of production space to meet rising demand for data centre power and cooling equipment in the EMEA region. Over the next 18 to 24 months, the site will increase output of power, switchgear and thermal management technology, including liquid cooling and power systems built for high-density AI and high-performance computing deployments. The expansion is designed to turn Nové Mesto nad Váhom into what Vertiv calls an integrated manufacturing and technology campus, combining engineering, operations and production under one roof. Key figures from the project include: * Around 22,000 square metres of new manufacturing space * An 18-24 month build timeline * Hundreds of new roles expected between 2027 and 2029 * Increased capacity for power, switchgear and thermal management equipment * A focus on liquid cooling for AI and high-performance computing workloads Part of a wider EMEA manufacturing push. The Slovakian investment follows a series of recent expansions at other Vertiv manufacturing facilities, part of what the company describes as a long-term growth strategy tied to demand from cloud, enterprise, colocation and AI customers. Reducing time-to-token. Paul Ryan, President of Vertiv in EMEA, says the expansion responds directly to customer pressure to deploy AI infrastructure faster. "As AI and other critical digital applications increase in the region, we continue to invest in our manufacturing capabilities across EMEA," he says. "The expansion of Nové Mesto nad Váhom will enhance its ability to support customers deploying increasingly critical digital infrastructure while further strengthening its capabilities for next-generation AI and high-performance computing applications. "As organisations accelerate AI adoption, speed of deployment has become a critical competitive advantage. "Reducing time-to-token, the time required to move from infrastructure deployment to business value generated by AI workloads, is becoming a key priority for customers. "This investment further strengthens Vertiv's ability to help bring critical power and cooling capacity online faster and at scale." Jobs across engineering and operations. The project is expected to create hundreds of new roles between 2027 and 2029 across manufacturing, engineering, operations, supply chain, quality, technical and leadership functions. Chris Hales, VP operations EMEA at Vertiv, says the campus is intended to bring people and technology together at scale. "Data Centre Magazine envision Nové Mesto nad Váhom as a world-class manufacturing campus where people, technology, and innovation come together to serve some of the most technically advanced customers and demanding applications in the market. "This investment will strengthen our industrial capabilities while creating an environment where talent can grow, innovation can flourish and operational excellence can thrive." Technology partners shaping Vertiv's roadmap. Vertiv's expanded manufacturing capacity sits alongside a set of technology partnerships that inform its power and cooling designs heading into 2026: * Collaborates with Vertiv on physical infrastructure and reference designs for AI factories, integrating digital twin modelling and thermal management blueprints into joint engineering work aimed at supporting accelerated computing deployments. * Partners with Vertiv to deliver combined on-site power generation and powertrain solutions, addressing high-capacity grid constraints that increasingly affect data centre operators seeking reliable power supply for dense AI deployments. * Co-develops advanced thermal management systems with Vertiv, including hybrid liquid and air cooling units designed to support rising rack densities across data centre facilities. * Collaborates with Vertiv on flexible "Bring Your Own Power & Cooling" infrastructure deployment models, giving operators alternative routes to secure power and cooling capacity for new builds.

Vertiv announces agreement to acquire King Environmental Services Ltd., expanding global fluid management services. Sep 24, 2026, 06:30 ET Planned acquisition expected to expand Vertiv's leadership in next-generation thermal services for high-density and AI-driven environments into Europe, Middle East and Africa Builds on Vertiv's North American fluid management capabilities with European execution capacity and specialized load testing expertise COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire King Environmental Services Ltd. (KES), a Europe-based provider of fluid management, commissioning and load-testing services for high-density, liquid-cooled data centers and other applications. The acquisition is expected to expand Vertiv's global thermal management services capabilities into Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and advance its strategy to support customers across the thermal chain. KES adds specialized fluid management, commissioning and load-testing capabilities spanning system preparation, performance validation, monitoring, maintenance and lifecycle optimization. The transaction builds on Vertiv's established North American fluid management presence, including its 2025 acquisition of PurgeRite, and represents the next step in expanding its global thermal and fluid management services platform. By combining KES's regional field expertise and load-testing capabilities with Vertiv's broader services portfolio, the company expects to provide more comprehensive support as customers deploy and operate complex AI and high-density infrastructure with greater reliability, efficiency and accountability. "As computing density increases, the performance of cooling and power infrastructure will depend as much on execution in the field as on engineering and system design," said Gio Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv. "Our acquisition of PurgeRite, in December of 2025, established an important fluid management foundation in North America, and KES is expected to build on that foundation in EMEA. Together, these acquisitions advance our strategy to provide the specialized expertise and disciplined execution customers need as they deploy increasingly complex infrastructure at scale." That need for disciplined execution is particularly important as high-performance computing and AI workloads increase heat densities and accelerate the adoption of liquid cooling. In these systems, fluid quality is critical to uptime, thermal performance and equipment life. Contamination, trapped air, corrosion, improper chemistry and flow imbalances can reduce heat-transfer efficiency, contribute to equipment degradation and create commissioning and operational risks. Beyond initial commissioning, customers need lifecycle fluid management services to support system availability, thermal performance, equipment longevity and operational economics. KES has built a strong reputation in Europe based on its technical specialization, experienced field teams, established operating infrastructure and safety culture. Its capabilities include fluid-system preparation, flushing, filtration, water treatment, commissioning and performance validation. KES also provides thermal load testing for liquid cooling infrastructure and electrical load testing for critical power systems. Together, Vertiv and KES are expected to deliver significant customer benefits from an expanded set of capabilities designed to: * Reduce operational complexity through a single accountable partner for commissioning, testing, fluid management and ongoing operations; * Improve cooling system performance with clean, balanced and validated fluid systems that support optimal heat transfer and equipment efficiency; * Maintain compliance with regional fluid handling, treatment and disposal requirements; and * Increase confidence in infrastructure readiness through thermal load testing before facilities enter operation. KES is headquartered near Dublin, Ireland, and serves customers across the EMEA region. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. The financial terms were not disclosed and are not expected to be material to Vertiv's financial results.
