Glesys expands Nordic footprint with the acquisition of two Finnish datacenters

Sweden, Finland, 14^th October 2025 – Glesys has signed an agreement to acquire two datacenters and associated operations from Verne in Finland. The transaction includes facilities in Pori and Tampere, marking an important step in Glesys’ strategy to expand its presence in the Nordic region and reinforce its position as the leading provider of sustainable digital infrastructure with best-in-class service quality. Through this acquisition, Glesys increases its datacenter capacity, power availability, and client base in the region.

The acquisition significantly enhances Glesys’ colocation capabilities, adding both capacity and geographic diversity to its existing platform. By integrating these facilities, Glesys will offer customers a broader range of secure and scalable solutions, while also strengthening its managed services and cloud portfolio. This move comes amid accelerating demand for high-performance colocation services, driven by the growth of artificial intelligence (“AI”), high-performance computing (“HPC”), and other data-intensive workloads.

As part of the transaction, Glesys will onboard a highly skilled team and a portfolio of established clients, ensuring continuity of service and strengthening its expertise in delivering tailored infrastructure solutions. This integration will also expand Glesys’ service offering, creating additional value for customers across the region.

“Adding these datacenters to our platform is a significant step in our growth journey”, said Glenn Johansson, CEO of Glesys. “It expands our datacenter footprint in the region, enhances our ability to deliver scalable and sustainable infrastructure, and supports our ambition to grow colocation and cloud capabilities across the Nordic region. Finland is a key market for us, and we look forward to working with our new colleagues, customers, and partners to build a trusted platform for digital growth”.

Glesys’ expanded platform will enable it to capture new growth opportunities in colocation, complementing its existing cloud and IaaS services and reinforcing its role as a trusted partner for enterprises and cloud-native businesses. This acquisition expands Glesys’s footprint across Northern Europe and further strengthens Cube Infrastructure Managers’ position in the datacenter sector. Along with Cube IM’s presence in Germany through its investment in firstcolo, Cube IM continues to invest in leading digital infrastructure assets with strong sustainability performance.

Torch Partners acted as exclusive financial adviser to Glesys in the context of this transaction.

The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.
