Vertiv's Timeline
A sourced, dated history of Vertiv's key moments — founding to present.
Jan 2016 · Spun off from Emerson Electric
Vertiv was spun off from Emerson Electric's Network Power business, later becoming the largest liquid cooling vendor for AI data centers.
Jan 2026 · 76% of AI servers require liquid cooling
Goldman Sachs estimated 76% of AI servers deployed by end of 2026 would require liquid cooling, up from 15% in 2024, with Vertiv holding the largest share of the liquid cooling market at over 11%.
2026-Q1 · Q1 2026 revenue up 30%, expands chiller manufacturing capacity
Vertiv delivered Q1 2026 revenue of $2.65 billion, up 30.1% year-over-year (Americas revenue up 53%), with a reported project backlog exceeding $15 billion (roughly 12-18 months of forward revenue); the company announced an expansion at its Tognana campus near Padua, Italy to double regional chiller production capacity by end of 2026 and build a new large-scale testing laboratory by early 2027, supporting rising demand for AI and high-density computing cooling infrastructure ahead of its July 29, 2026 Q2 earnings report.
