Industrial firm Modine has launched a dedicated data center segment.

The company this week announced a newly created data centers segment, which was formerly part of the firm’s climate solutions business.

Art Laszlo has been promoted to president of data centers and will lead the new segment.

Laszlo joined Modine in 2022 as VP/GM of liquid-cooled applications. Prior to Modine, he held roles at IDEX, General Electric, Brunswick Corporation, Mars, and General Motors.

"I am thrilled to announce Art's promotion to this critical leadership role," said Neil D. Brinker, Modine CEO. "Art's proven leadership and deep focus on providing critical cooling solutions make him the ideal choice to lead this new segment. The creation of the global data centers segment is a testament to the significant growth and opportunities we see in this market, and I am confident that under Art's guidance, we will continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers."

Eric McGinnis will continue to lead the remainder of the climate solutions segment until his previously announced planned retirement.

Modine acquired cooling firm Airedale in 2005, with the company now one of the largest end-to-end cooling solutions providers in the data center industry. The company also offers technologies for liquid cooling.
