New facility includes a Vertiv Experience Center, serving as a hub for customer engagement.
Tokyo, Japan [October 15, 2026] – Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today celebrated the grand opening of its new Japan headquarters in Tokyo, marking a significant milestone in the company's continued investment in Japan and the broader Asia region. The new facility also features a Vertiv Experience Center (VEC), providing customers, partners, and industry stakeholders with an immersive environment to explore Vertiv's end-to-end portfolio of power, thermal management, IT management, and integrated infrastructure solutions.
The investment underscores Vertiv's commitment to supporting customers as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and high-performance computing accelerate demand for resilient, energy-efficient, and scalable digital infrastructure across Japan and Asia. According to CBRE's 2026 Asia Pacific Data Centre Trends & Outlook report, global hyperscale demand is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%, while technology firms plan to increase capital expenditure on AI by 61% in 2026¹. These trends are driving sustained investment in AI infrastructure, hyperscale data centers, and sovereign AI capabilities across Japan's digital economy.
Designed to foster closer collaboration with local customers and partners, the new office enhances Vertiv's ability to support organizations navigating increasingly complex infrastructure requirements. The facility is supported by a team of service engineers, sales professionals, and administrative personnel. At the VEC, visitors can experience Vertiv's latest technologies and solutions that help support AI-ready infrastructure, including miniature models of the Vertiv™ SmartRun integrated modular infrastructure solution and the Vertiv™ 360AI reference architecture, as well as interactive experiences through Vertiv™ XR and Vertiv™ VR applications.
"Across Asia, accelerating AI adoption, cloud expansion, and digital transformation are reshaping infrastructure requirements and driving surging demand for critical digital infrastructure," said Paul Churchill, vice president and general manager, Vertiv Asia. "As governments, enterprises, and cloud providers increase investments in AI and data center capacity, organizations need infrastructure that can scale efficiently while supporting performance, resilience, and energy efficiency goals. Asia remains a strategic growth region for Vertiv, and our continued investments reflect our commitment to helping customers build and operate the infrastructure that powers the digital economy."
