Glesys’ acquisition of Verne’s managed private cloud operations and two datacentres
We are pleased to have acted as exclusive financial adviser to Glesys, on its acquisition of Verne’s managed private cloud operations in Finland and two datacentre facilities in Pori and Tampere.
Headquartered in the UK, Verne is a leading datacentre services provider across the UK and Nordics, with four datacentres located in Iceland and Finland powered by 100 percent renewable energy. The sale of Verne’s managed private cloud operations and associated datacentre facilities in Pori and Tampere represents Verne’s strategic focus on providing high-performance colocation services for AI and enterprise workloads.
Backed by Cube Infrastructure Managers, Glesys is a leading Nordic cloud and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider with strong regional presence in Sweden and Finland. This acquisition further expands Glesys’ regional reach and strengthen its ability to deliver scalable and sustainable infrastructure solutions to its customers within the region.
Having advised Glesys on its sale to Cube Infrastructure Managers in March 2023 and the shareholders of Ficolo on its sale to Verne in April 2022, this transaction further demonstrates Torch Partners’ strong track record in the Nordic cloud infrastructure and datacentre sectors and our commitment to helping clients achieve their growth ambitions.
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.
