In July 2026, the company announced the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Blaine, Minnesota. The plant is designed to produce liquid-cooling systems, a technology increasingly necessary for managing heat in AI chips. This expansion is expected to double the company’s liquid-cooling production capacity and create over 200 jobs. Following this manufacturing expansion, nVent entered a definitive agreement in August 2026 to acquire Maverick Power for an upfront price of $1.75 billion, with potential total payments reaching $2.3 billion.
