Vertiv expansion plans will add approximately 22,000 square meters of new manufacturing space at the company’s Nové Mesto nad Váhom campus in Slovakia over the next 18 to 24 months.

The investment is aimed at supporting growing customer demand across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). It follows recent expansion initiatives at Vertiv manufacturing facilities in Ireland, Italy, Croatia, Malaysia, Mexico, and the United States.

Together, these investments are expected to increase Vertiv’s ability to support customers across cloud, enterprise, colocation, and AI-driven environments.

The Vertiv expansion in Slovakia will increase production capacity for power, switchgear, and thermal management technologies. This includes advanced liquid cooling and power solutions designed for high-density AI and high-performance computing applications.

In addition, the project aims to develop the Nové Mesto nad Váhom site into an integrated manufacturing and technology campus. The facility will bring together engineering expertise, operations, and production capabilities within a unified ecosystem.

As a result, Vertiv expects the campus to improve its response to customized customer requirements and accelerate delivery capabilities. The project is also intended to strengthen the resilience of the company’s EMEA supply chain.

“As AI and other critical digital applications increase in the region, we continue to invest in our manufacturing capabilities across EMEA,” said Paul Ryan, president of Vertiv in EMEA.

“The expansion of Nové Mesto nad Váhom will enhance our ability to support customers deploying increasingly critical digital infrastructure while further strengthening our capabilities for next-generation AI and high-performance computing applications.”

Ryan added that organizations are accelerating AI adoption, making speed of deployment an increasingly important priority. He also highlighted “time-to-token,” referring to the time required to move from infrastructure deployment to business value generated by AI workloads.

According to Vertiv, the investment will further strengthen its ability to bring critical power and cooling capacity online faster and at scale.

The Vertiv expansion is also expected to create hundreds of new employment opportunities between 2027 and 2029. These roles will span manufacturing, engineering, operations, supply chain, quality, technical, and leadership functions.

The investment also reflects Vertiv’s plans to develop the talent and skills needed to support the future of critical digital infrastructure.

To support this growth, Vertiv said it will continue providing employees with learning opportunities, professional development, and long-term career options. The company is also developing initiatives focused on talent attraction, workforce mobility, and community development in the region.

“We 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,” said Chris Hales, VP operations EMEA, Vertiv.

“This investment will strengthen our industrial capabilities while creating an environment where talent can grow, innovation can flourish, and operational excellence can thrive.”

The Nové Mesto nad Váhom project will expand Vertiv’s manufacturing footprint across EMEA. It will also support infrastructure requirements for hyperscale and cloud providers, colocation operators, neocloud, enterprise data centers, and other mission-critical applications.

The company said the investment will help customers deploy the power and thermal infrastructure needed for digital services, AI factories, and high-density computing.
