The new Vertiv factory, to be fully operational in 2026, is expected to create up to 500 local skilled jobs and accelerate the delivery of next-generation digital infrastructure solutions.
Johor, Malaysia [December 11, 2025] – Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today announced plans to expand its manufacturing footprint in Asia through the establishment of a new manufacturing facility in Johor, Malaysia. Scheduled to be fully operational in first quarter 2026, the facility will manufacture a range of Vertiv™ power and thermal management solutions, including coolant distribution units (CDU), as well as modular and prefabricated data center deployment solutions.
This expansion aligns with the company’s growth and capacity expansion strategy, driven by surging demand for AI-ready, high-density computing infrastructure. The Johor facility will play a pivotal role in bolstering Vertiv’s production capabilities to serve customers in fast-growing markets across the region, enable faster delivery times, expand capacity, and support next-generation technologies such as AI and machine learning. Johor’s proximity to Singapore, developed logistics networks, and reliable utilities make it ideal for scalable tech manufacturing.
“This new facility represents a major milestone in Vertiv’s global manufacturing network. It gives us the scale, flexibility, and proximity we need to meet our customers’ needs quickly and reliably,” said Andrew Whall, vice president of operations at Vertiv Asia. “It also represents Vertiv’s steady investment in continuous growth and manufacturing excellence.”
Vertiv is committed to growing and developing its workforce to support the new facility, with expectations to create up to 500 local skilled jobs over the next three years. The factory will also utilize modern automation technologies, resulting in an efficient and streamlined production environment that will focus on operational and manufacturing efficiency, enabling Vertiv to scale quickly while maintaining quality and environmental responsibility.
“A facility of this importance depends on a highly skilled and engaged workforce, and we’re proud to be creating meaningful, high-value jobs in the region that support both our long-term growth and Malaysia’s broader economic ambitions,” Whall added.
