COLUMBUS, Ohio [September 24, 2024] – Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today announced a major expansion of its North American manufacturing operations with a new facility in Pelzer, South Carolina.

The Vertiv Pelzer facility will produce a variety of infrastructure solutions, including integrated modular solutions, modular power systems, and other integrated systems leveraging Vertiv’s portfolio of power, cooling, and IT infrastructure technologies for data centers.
