The Vertiv manufacturing facility in Johor, Malaysia, has officially opened to support the growing demand for digital infrastructure. This development aims to address the increasing requirements for artificial intelligence and high-density computing across Asia. Consequently, the company is expanding its production footprint to serve markets including Southeast Asia, North Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Strategically located in an active industrial market, the site provides regional manufacturing, engineering, logistics, and deployment capabilities. Meanwhile, its proximity to key technology hubs allows for faster distribution. The company selected this location due to its strong regional connectivity.
Expanding Regional Infrastructure
“Asia continues to be one of the fastest-growing regions for AI and digital infrastructure investment, and expanding our manufacturing footprint in Malaysia aims to further enhance our ability to support customers with quality, speed, scale, and resilience.”
Giordano Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv
“As compute requirements evolve across multiple generations of AI infrastructure, customers need partners to provide power, cooling, and infrastructure solutions at scale.”

Capabilities of the Vertiv manufacturing facility
This Vertiv manufacturing facility supports end-to-end manufacturing, assembly, and full-scale witness testing for advanced thermal and power infrastructure. Specifically, these systems help reduce deployment risks for enterprise, cloud, and colocation environments.
The site produces several key infrastructure solutions. For instance, the Vertiv CoolChip coolant distribution units support liquid cooling applications, including direct-to-chip systems. Additionally, prefabricated power solutions like the Vertiv Power Module can speed up power system deployment by up to 50%.
Advanced Testing and Production
The facility features a dedicated testing environment designed to validate liquid cooling and integrated power solutions under customer site conditions. Notably, this includes testing for coolant distribution units across a full range of capacities. Furthermore, the setup allows for the simultaneous testing of multiple power modules and skids.
Future Economic Impact
The Vertiv manufacturing facility is expected to bring hundreds of skilled jobs to the region when it becomes fully operationalized in 2027. This employment growth will support local technical talent. In addition, the facility will help customers deploy critical digital infrastructure more efficiently.
As organizations invest heavily in computers and data centers, infrastructure demand remains high. The company continues to expand its global capacity to meet these needs. Ultimately, this new site strengthens the regional supply chain resilience.
