Vertiv bets on Johor as AI infrastructure boom shifts from data centres to manufacturing

[JOHOR BAHRU] The race to build artificial intelligence data centres across Asia is no longer just attracting cloud giants and developers. It is increasingly drawing the companies that build the critical equipment behind them.

That shift was evident as US-listed Vertiv officially opened a manufacturing facility in Senai, Johor, betting that demand for power and cooling infrastructure will continue to surge as AI reshapes the region’s digital economy.

Vertiv’s new 236,000-square-foot facility will manufacture, assemble and test advanced thermal management systems, modular power solutions and prefabricated infrastructure for customers across South-east Asia, North Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
