Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA) member Vertiv is expanding in Ohio, with plans to add 500 jobs at its Ironton manufacturing plant by 2029 as the company grows domestic production of power and cooling equipment. The broader effort includes an approximately $50 million investment across Ironton and Vertiv’s Westerville headquarters campus, with up to 730 jobs planned statewide through 2029. Vertiv said the investment will strengthen U.S. production capacity for technologies used in digital infrastructure and advanced computing environments, with the Ironton project expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2027.

“Vertiv’s expansion is another strong signal that Ohio remains a place where advanced manufacturing, skilled talent and long-term investment come together,” said Ryan Augsburger, president of the OMA. 3/31/2026
