Global data centre infrastructure company Vertiv has lodged plans for a major expansion at its Letterkenny plant.<\/p>\n

The planning application seeks permission for an additional 8,485 square metres (91,000 sq ft) of new production facility space on a 3.5 hectare (8.6 acre) site adjacent to its current facility at Lisnennan.<\/p>\n

The proposed development will also include the provision of additional car parking, provision of bicycle parking and new footpaths and public lighting.<\/p>\n

Vertiv\u2019s Irish operation more than doubled its pre-tax profits last year as demand surges for data-centre equipment.<\/p>\n

Revenues at Vertiv Ireland Limited rose from \u20ac131.2 million to \u20ac182.5 million in 2025, while pre-tax profits increased from \u20ac43.6 million to \u20ac111.6 million, the Irish Times<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The company has major operations in Letterkenny and Burnfoot, as well as Campsie in Derry.<\/p>\n

Up to 300 skilled jobs<\/a> are expected to be created with the latest expansion.<\/p>\n

The company has added more than 500 staff across its Irish operations since the start of the year.<\/p>\n

The company manufactures power, cooling and IT infrastructure used by data centres, with the expansion driven by growing global demand linked to AI.<\/p>\n

Vertiv\u2019s parent company reported global sales of $10.2 billion in 2025, up almost 28% on the previous year. Its order backlog more than doubled to $15 billion as data-centre customers placed orders ahead of the company\u2019s ability to fulfil them.<\/p>\n

Vertiv’s global and local expansion plans are designed to increase manufacturing capacity as demand accelerates from AI, colocation and hyperscale data-centre projects.<\/p>\n
