At nVent, we operate across two segments: Systems Protection and Electrical Connections.

Our portfolio of premier, industry-leading brands, some of which have a history spanning over 100 years, includes nVent CADDY, ERICO, HOFFMAN, ILSCO, SCHROFF and TRACHTE. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to "nVent," the "Company," and such words as "we," "us," and "our" include nVent Electric plc and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our principal office is in London, United Kingdom and our management office in the United States ("U.S.") is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Company was incorporated in Ireland on May 30, 2017. Although our jurisdiction of organization is Ireland, we manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") and have our tax residency in the U.K. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT On April 30, 2018, Pentair plc ("Pentair") completed the separation of its Water business and its Electrical business into two independent, publicly-traded companies (the "separation"). To effect the separation, Pentair distributed to its shareholders one ordinary share of nVent for every ordinary share of Pentair held as of the record date of April 17, 2018. As a result of the distribution, nVent became an independent publicly-traded company and began trading under the symbol "NVT" on the New York Stock Exchange on May 1, 2018. Our roots within Pentair trace back to the acquisition of Federal-Hoffman Corporation in 1988, which included the nVent HOFFMAN Systems Protection brand. From that starting point, we have grown both organically and via acquisitions. Our Systems Protection business first applied lean principles within the organization in the 1990s, leveraging its culture of customer service and operational excellence. In 2015, Pentair acquired ERICO Global Company, a leading global manufacturer of superior engineered electrical and fastening products, which operates as our Electrical Connections business, broadening our product offering and enabling us to provide additional global solutions to our combined customers. In 2023, as part of our Electrical Connections reporting segment, we completed the acquisition of ECM Investors, LLC, the parent of ECM Industries, LLC ("ECM Industries"), for approximately $1.1 billion in cash. ECM Industries is a leading provider of high-value electrical connectors, tools and test instruments and cable management. In 2024, we completed the acquisition of Trachte, LLC ("Trachte") as part of our Systems Protection reporting segment, for approximately $0.7 billion in cash. Trachte is a leading manufacturer of engineered control building solutions designed to protect critical infrastructure assets. In 2025, we completed the sale of the Thermal Management business to BCP VI Summit Holdings LP (as assignee of BCP Acquisitions LLC), an affiliate of funds managed by Brookfield Asset Management, for $1.6 billion in net cash proceeds, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments.…
