Vertiv expands manufacturing capacity in Malaysia

Vertiv has expanded its manufacturing capacity with the opening of a new production facility in Johor, Malaysia. The investment supports the growing demand for high-density digital infrastructure for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data center applications across the Asia-Pacific region.

Regional manufacturing capacity
The new facility strengthens Vertiv's regional manufacturing network by integrating production, engineering, logistics, and testing activities. Its location in Johor enables the company to serve Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand through its proximity to major industrial and technology hubs.

The expansion is part of Vertiv's strategy to increase manufacturing capacity in response to the growing demand for digital infrastructure and high-density computing systems, while enhancing the resilience of the regional supply chain.

Production and testing infrastructure
The facility is designed for the manufacturing, assembly, and testing of power and thermal management systems for data centers. Operations include full witness testing before equipment is commissioned.

The production lines include coolant distribution units for liquid cooling systems, prefabricated power modules, and integrated modular infrastructure for data center white space environments. The site also features a dedicated testing environment for validating liquid cooling and integrated power systems by simulating customer operating conditions.

Industrial applications
The solutions manufactured at the facility are intended for enterprise data centers, cloud facilities, and colocation operators that require high-density infrastructure for AI workloads and other critical digital applications. The prefabricated approach integrates power, cooling, and infrastructure distribution systems while reducing on-site installation activities.

Operational impact
According to Vertiv, the facility is expected to become fully operational in 2027 and create hundreds of skilled jobs. The use of prefabricated power modules can reduce power system deployment time by up to 50%, while integrated white space infrastructure can reduce on-site installation time by up to 85% compared with conventional construction methods. The dedicated testing environment also enables equipment performance to be verified before installation, helping to reduce implementation risks during deployment.
