NorthC Datacenters is a regional colocation provider running roughly two dozen data centers across the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland, with the Netherlands as its historic core market and Germany as its fastest-growing one. As of 2026 the company operates around 14 sites in the Netherlands, 8 in Germany, and 5 in Switzerland, after a major September 2025 acquisition of six former Colt Technology Services (originally Lumen/Level 3) data centers in Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Düsseldorf and Amsterdam gave it national coverage across Germany. NorthC sells physical colocation and connectivity space rather than its own branded cloud, positioning itself as a carrier-neutral, sustainability-focused alternative to the hyperscale campuses of Frankfurt, Amsterdam and other FLAP(D) hubs, instead serving mid-sized enterprises, government bodies, healthcare organizations, and regional cloud/IT providers close to where they operate. The company was formed in 2019–2020 from the merger of Dutch firms TDCG and NLDC (itself a former KPN subsidiary), then expanded into Switzerland via the Netrics acquisition and into Germany via IP Exchange GmbH, before the 2025 Colt deal. In December 2025, private equity firm Antin Infrastructure Partners agreed to acquire NorthC from DWS and other minority shareholders, with the deal built around further expansion of the platform’s roughly 140 MW of secured and greenfield grid capacity.
