Zekelman Industries announced on April 14 that Jim Marsh has joined the company as Executive Director of Digital & Mission Critical Infrastructure. In this new role, Marsh will lead business development efforts in data center, artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and other mission-critical markets.

He most recently served as Director of Key Accounts at Munters, where he managed global hyperscale data center client programs within the Data Center Technologies division. Prior to that, he was Vice President at Capitol Power Group in northern Virginia—recognized as the largest data center market globally—where he established the mechanical division and led business development before CPG was acquired by Columbia Capital in 2019.
Tom Muth, President of Zekelman’s pipe and tube division, said: “Today’s global race to superintelligence is centered in North America across the Big Five hyperscalers – AWS, Microsoft, Meta, Google, and Apple. They are applying the latest liquid-cooled AI infrastructure that leverage many of our products and services.”
The company reports it is expanding its offerings with innovative design and engineering services while introducing new products such as skid manufacturing. These initiatives aim to provide enhanced solutions for both new and existing customers within digital and mission-critical sectors.
