Vertiv Holdings, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has announced that it has successfully completed the acquisition of E&I Engineering Ireland Limited and its affiliate, Powerbar Gulf LLC.

Vertiv chief executive Rob Johnson says the company is pleased to officially welcome the E&I team: “Throughout this process, we’ve quickly reaffirmed that the impressive E&I team is rich in talent and strong in capabilities.

“This combination is a real-world example of two companies coming together to powerfully amplify their collective ability to create value for customers, employees and shareholders.”

E&I founder Philip O’Doherty says that it’s a terrific opportunity: “Combining two highly complementary and already-accomplished businesses to establish one respected, results-oriented global organisation that can provide critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions in countries around the world didn’t seem possible when we founded E&I 35 years ago. However today, by officially bringing Vertiv and E&I together, it’s now a reality.”
