Tuesday, February 10, 2026 at 03:52 PM
nVent reported its data center revenue reached $1B in 2025, a 67% year-over-year increase, with orders growing 30% in Q4. The company is aggressively expanding liquid cooling capacity at its new Blaine, MN facility to support AI infrastructure. Furthermore, nVent is launching a modular Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) platform developed with NVIDIA in early 2026 to manage high heat loads in next-generation data centers.
Context
nVent has emerged as a critical AI infrastructure provider, reporting that its data center revenue reached $1 billion in 2025, a 67% year-over-year increase. The infrastructure vertical now accounts for 45% of total sales, with a total backlog that has tripled to $2.3 billion. This surge is primarily driven by high-performance liquid cooling and power distribution solutions essential for the massive thermal and energy demands of next-generation AI clusters.
A primary catalyst is the partnership with NVIDIA for a new modular Cooling Distribution Unit platform launching in Q1/Q2 2026. Designed to handle extreme heat loads through 2030, the system significantly improves efficiency by replacing legacy dual-unit setups. To support this ramp, nVent brought its Blaine, Minnesota facility online in just 100 days. With liquid cooling currently in less than 30% of data centers, nVent is positioned to capture significant market share as the global AI buildout forces a transition to high-density thermal management.
