Vertiv Holdings CEO Giordano Albertazzi reports sustained and robust demand for AI infrastructure cooling and power solutions, noting that the industry remains in the early stages of a long-term growth cycle without any signs of slowing.

Context

At the JPMorgan Industrials Conference 2026, Vertiv CEO Giordano Albertazzi dismissed concerns of an ‐air pocket‐ or slowdown in AI infrastructure investment, stating, “We see strong demand continuing. No air pockets... We are still at the beginning… we see a long trajectory.” This outlook aligns with the company’s aggressive capacity expansion, including a March 24, 2026, announcement of four new or expanded facilities in the Americas to support high-density AI factories. The company is specifically scaling its liquid cooling and power management production, with a recent $50 million investment in Ohio aimed at increasing chilled water system capacity by 45% by 2027. Vertiv reported a massive $15 billion backlog as of early 2026, driven by a 252% surge in new orders during the final quarter of 2025. These strategic moves highlight Vertiv’s shift toward converged physical infrastructure to meet the sub-millisecond ‐time to first token‐ requirements of next-generation AI workloads.
