Vertiv Expands Westerville-Ironton, Ohio, Operations

04/12/2026
Digital infrastructure company Vertiv plans to expand its operations in Westerville and Ironton, Ohio. The approximately $50 million project is expected to create up to 730 jobs.

The investment at the company’s existing headquarters in Westerville and manufacturing facility in Ironton will support increased capacity across engineering, sales, services, and production operations.

“Ohio has been central to Vertiv’s story for more than six decades, and this investment reflects our confidence in the state, our communities, and the people who make growth possible,” said Anand Sanghi, President of Vertiv Americas. “By expanding in Westerville and Ironton, we are investing in talent, manufacturing, and long-term capability that will help us better serve customers while continuing to create high-quality opportunities in Ohio.”

To support the project, JobsOhio awarded grants totaling $4 million, and the Ohio Department of Development approved Job Creation Tax Credits tied to job creation and investment.

“Ohio is a major hub for AI and data infrastructure investment, and Vertiv’s production is critical to ensuring efficient and reliable operations,” noted J.P. Nauseef, President and CEO of JobsOhio. “The company’s latest investment will create hundreds of new jobs, demonstrating Vertiv’s continued confidence in Ohio as it scales production to meet growing market demand.”

Vertiv designs, manufactures, and services digital infrastructure technologies, including power, cooling, and IT systems that support data centers and communications networks.

“We and our partners at JobsOhio and LEDC appreciate Vertiv’s confidence in Southeast Ohio and the talented workforce in Lawrence County,” added Matt Abbott, President and CEO of Ohio Southeast Economic Development (OhioSE). “Their growth underscores the advantages of doing business in Southern Ohio.”

“Vertiv recently became the newest Fortune 500 global headquarters in Columbus and in Ohio,” said Jason Hall, CEO of the Columbus Partnership. “This is a company with a lot of choices globally on where to expand and make investments, and our team is proud to have partnered with JobsOhio and others to ensure the Columbus metro remains Vertiv’s headquarters and that the jobs created through its growth are located here.”
