STACK INFRASTRUCTURE: Stack Infrastructure announces global expansion

STACK Infrastructure has announced that it is expanding its global reach into the EMEA region. According to the company, this expansion makes it one of the largest private data center operators globally, with operations in 16 markets across three continents. Currently, STACK has over 400 MW under development, with over 1,000 MW of expansion potential.

The company is sponsored by IPI Partners, which acquired Supernap Italia and Digiplex in 2021, and the two will now operate under the STACK brand and take the lead of the company’s EMEA operations.

Speaking about the recent announcement, Phil Koen, Chairman of the Board of STACK, commented: “We’re thrilled to welcome SUPERNAP Italia and DigiPlex under the STACK banner and see our brand continue to expand globally. This integration will allow us to scale the already successful European-based businesses into a global infrastructure player with extensive resources, capacity and development expertise." Further to this, he said that unifying the the company's assets and teams under one brand will enable STACK to have a "clear competitive advantage in the market."

Matt A’Hearn, Partner at IPI, added: “STACK is focused on growing and strengthening its brand to its full potential and we couldn’t be more excited for the future. Local operational, development and construction expertise combined with global reach and scale is in demand among hyperscalers and enterprises in the current market. As DigiPlex and SUPERNAP Italia are brought under the STACK umbrella, doing so will preserve the excellent regional reputations that each organization is known for, while leveraging the strength of a unified STACK EMEA to further empower STACK’s global capabilities to better serve its customers and further expand its hyperscale-focused data center portfolio.”
