Modine has announced the promotion of Art Laszlo to president, Data Centres, effective April 1, 2026.
Laszlo will lead the newly created Data Centres segment, which was formerly part of the Climate Solutions segment.
Eric McGinnis will continue to lead the remainder of the Climate Solutions segment until his previously announced planned retirement.
The company will report these two segments with first quarter fiscal 2027 results. The Performance Technologies segment also will continue to be reported as a separate segment until its spin-off later this calendar year as part of the previously announced transaction with Gentherm.
Laszlo is responsible for driving growth and profitability in Modine's highly strategic Data Centres business, further strengthening its position as a leading provider of innovative cooling solutions to the world's leading data centre operators.
Modine president & CEO, Neil D. Brinker, said 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 Centres 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,” Brinker said.
Laszlo joined Modine in 2022 and has since held a series of progressively senior leadership roles. Before Modine, he served as president, Advanced Flow Solutions at IDEX, where he focused on the downstream oil and gas sector.
Prior to IDEX, he held leadership positions at General Electric, Brunswick Corporation, Mars Incorporated and General Motors.
