Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, has announced the acquisition of BMarko Structures LLC, a U.S.-based provider of custom-engineered structural fabrication.
As AI data centre deployments accelerate, the infrastructure layer is under growing pressure to deliver faster and at scale.
This acquisition vertically integrates a critical structural fabrication specialisation into Vertiv’s Infrastructure Solutions business in North America, which is expected to strengthen supply capability, rapidly expand engineering and manufacturing capacity, and enhance Vertiv’s ability to deliver scalable manufactured, prefabricated, and converged infrastructure with greater speed, control, customisation, and executional discipline.
BMarko has demonstrated its differentiated structural fabrication capabilities, engineering depth, and ability to support highly customised infrastructure requirements, during prior, long-term project experience with Vertiv.
Bringing this capability in-house is expected to strengthen execution, improve material and process control, and enhance Vertiv’s ability to support customers as infrastructure requirements continue to evolve.
“AI is reshaping infrastructure requirements, with customers placing greater demands on time-to-capacity, flexibility, and efficiency across the infrastructure layer,” said Gio Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv. “This acquisition strengthens Vertiv’s ability to help customers move faster, with better systems-level performance and control, as infrastructure demands continue to grow in complexity.”
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Williamston, South Carolina, BMarko specialises in high-quality, custom-engineered builds, including steel and wood frames that align well with AI factory and data centre requirements.
BMarko recently expanded its engineering and fabrication facility to approximately 560,000 square feet.
This facility is located in proximity to Vertiv’s Infrastructure Solutions manufacturing operations in the region.
