"We delivered another quarter of solid sales growth in both Enclosures and Electrical & Fastening Solutions. Our Thermal Management business was challenged in Commercial and longer cycle Energy. We continue to make progress with our One nVent strategy improving our new product vitality, strengthening our digital capabilities and growing in focused verticals," said Beth Wozniak, nVent's chief executive officer.
