NorthC sale to Antin Infrastructure Partners

Based in Amsterdam, NorthC operates 25 colocation datacenters across major metropolitan areas in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. The platform has more than 140 MW of secured gross grid capacity from existing and greenfield sites to support future growth.

NorthC was formed in 2019 through the combination of two Dutch datacenter operators and has rapidly become a major European player. Under the leadership of CEO Alexandra Schless, the company has expanded into Germany and Switzerland, delivering sustained organic growth supported by greenfield developments and bolt-on acquisitions, including, most recently, six datacenters in Germany and the Netherlands.

Torch Partners has supported the platform throughout its evolution, advising on the 2019 sale of The Datacenter Group, which subsequently rebranded as NorthC, and the 2022 sale of Netrics' datacenter and connectivity business in Switzerland to NorthC.

The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in H1 2026.
