NorthC Datacenters is a regional colocation provider operating data centers across the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland, with a portfolio that, as of 2026, spans roughly two dozen operating facilities plus several more under construction. The company was formed in 2019 from the merger of Dutch data center pioneers The Datacenter Group (TDCG) and NLDC (originally a KPN subsidiary), then expanded internationally through acquisitions of IP Exchange in Germany (2021), Netrics in Switzerland (2022), a Zurich-area facility from Kyndryl (2023), and six former Colt/Lumen facilities across Germany and the Netherlands (2025). NorthC positions itself as a “regional” alternative to hyperscale and global colocation players, emphasizing local connectivity rings (Region Connect), carrier- and cloud-neutrality, and 100% green power across its sites. In late 2025/2026, Antin Infrastructure Partners agreed to acquire NorthC from DWS and other shareholders. The company sells colocation and connectivity services (not its own public cloud), and is a genuine facility operator, having built, acquired, and directly run its data halls rather than purely reselling third-party space.
