Vertiv is pursuing the acquisition of King Environmental Services (KES), which provides commissioning services for building systems at data centers, and expects to complete the transaction by year-end. Financial terms were not disclosed.
KES is headquartered near Dublin, Ireland, and provides customers across the EMEA region with services including fluid management, commissioning, load testing, monitoring and maintenance. Founded in 2002, it has disclosed a track record with Microsoft and Equinix.
Vertiv provides fluid-management services in North America and acquired PurgeRite last year for more than $1 billion. Through the acquisition of KES, it plans to complement its North American base and expand its capabilities in the EMEA region.
The acquisition of KES is expected to add substantial expertise in system readiness, performance validation and lifecycle optimisation, strengthening Vertiv's delivery capabilities for thermal-management services.
