What it does

nVent makes electrical enclosures, connection and protection products and, increasingly, liquid-cooling equipment such as coolant distribution units and rack manifolds for data centers.

Why it matters

Dense AI racks such as NVIDIA's NVL72 systems need liquid cooling; nVent published a reference architecture for NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 deployments and says it has deployed more than two gigawatts of liquid-cooling capacity.

How it makes money

It sells enclosures, cooling, electrical connection and fastening products to data center, utility, industrial and commercial building customers.

Geography

United Kingdom (London principal office; US management office in Minneapolis)

AI stack position

Data centers and physical infrastructure. The buildings, land, cooling systems, backup power and electrical equipment that physically house AI computing. Every AI model has to run somewhere — these companies build and operate the real-world facilities that make that possible.
