The organisation plans to expand its manufacturing and testing footprint across Ireland and the North West.
US tech firm Vertiv, which specialises in data centre and IT services, has submitted an application to Donegal County Council. The request involves adding an additional 7,000 square metres of space to the Letterkenny facility, which will generate up to 300 new jobs.
The organisation has plans to further develop its presence across the country, in particular the North West and will focus on recruiting for the Letterkenny, Donegal, Derry and Dublin sites.
According to Vertiv, the organisation has onboarded more than 500 across its local facilities since the beginning of 2026. The new opportunities are set to include multiple engineering and operational roles across the business, which will expand manufacturing capacity and deepen Vertiv’s technical expertise in power, cooling and industrialised infrastructure.
Commenting on the announcement, Taoiseach Micheál Martin, TD said, “Vertiv’s decision to expand in Donegal and create hundreds of new skilled jobs is very welcome news for the region and for Ireland.
“Investments of this scale support balanced regional development, strengthen our enterprise base, and demonstrate the confidence international companies continue to place in Ireland as a location for long-term growth.”
Paul Ryan, the president of Vertiv in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said, “This planned investment reflects the strategic importance of our operations across Ireland and the North West. As demand for critical digital infrastructure continues to accelerate, we are helping customers to deploy AI and data centre capacity worldwide.
“The expected extension, together with continued recruitment across our facilities, is part of our ongoing actions to support continued growth, while creating opportunities for skills development and career growth across the region.”
