Vertiv Expands in Malaysia, Boosting ASEAN's Digital Infrastructure

A New Hub for Advanced Manufacturing in Southeast Asia \\[Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, has inaugurated a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Johor, Malaysia. This strategic move is set to bolster the company’s presence in the region, catering to the growing demand for advanced cooling and power solutions across Southeast Asia, North Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. The facility, located in one of the fastest-growing industrial markets in Southeast Asia, will play a pivotal role in enhancing regional manufacturing, supply chain resilience, and deployment capabilities for critical digital infrastructure. \\The new site in Johor is designed to support end-to-end manufacturing, assembly, and full-scale testing of advanced thermal and power infrastructure. This includes liquid cooling systems, power modules, and prefabricated infrastructure solutions, all of which are essential for high-density computing environments. The facility is expected to create hundreds of skilled jobs by 2027, contributing significantly to the local economy. \\### What This Means for Factories in ASEAN \\For factories in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, this development brings several key benefits. First, it ensures a more robust and resilient supply chain, reducing the risk of disruptions. Second, the proximity of the facility means faster delivery times and better access to technical support. Third, the advanced testing capabilities at the Johor site will help validate the performance of critical infrastructure before deployment, reducing the risk of downtime and accelerating time to market. \\### Advanced Solutions for High-Density Computing \\The Johor facility will produce a range of innovative products, including Vertiv CoolChip coolant distribution units (CDUs), which support liquid cooling applications such as direct-to-chip and rear door heat exchangers for high-density racks. Additionally, the site will manufacture Vertiv Power Modules and Vertiv Power Skids, which are prefabricated power solutions that can speed up deployment by up to 50% compared to traditional builds. The facility will also produce the Vertiv SmartRun integrated prefabricated overhead infrastructure system, which can reduce on-site deployment time by up to 85%. \\### Testing and Validation \\A dedicated testing environment at the Johor facility will allow for the validation of liquid cooling and integrated power solutions under real-world conditions. This includes full-range CDU testing and simultaneous testing of multiple power modules and skids. These rigorous tests ensure that the solutions meet the highest standards of performance and reliability, providing peace of mind for factory buyers. \\### Conclusion \\The opening of Vertiv’s new manufacturing facility in Johor, Malaysia, marks a significant step forward in supporting the digital transformation of industries across ASEAN. For factory buyers, this means access to cutting-edge technology, enhanced supply chain resilience, and faster deployment times. As the region continues to grow, Vertiv’s investment in Malaysia will play a crucial role in ensuring that factories in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia can stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving landscape of high-density computing and AI.\\]
