forces with Hasselt DC and building a new data center on the south axis
of Kortrijk (B)
Antwerp, 8 May 2023, 18h00 CET



Datacenter United, Belgian provider of high-quality colocation data center services that is part of the
portfolio of infrastructure investor TINC, is increasing the number of data centers under its
management to nine. In addition to the 6 existing locations in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent & Bruges,
the 2 Limburg data centers of Hasselt DC are now also part of the Datacenter United ecosystem. In
the southern axis of Kortrijk, the construction of a new data center was recently started in order to
provide digital services to the local Flemish and Walloon market on the one hand, and the Northern
French region on the other.

“With these initiatives, we are taking another step to strengthen our position on the Belgian data
center market. We can now offer our professional services from no fewer than 9 locations. For our
customers, this means that we can guarantee an even better geographical presence and economies
of scale. With this, we are laying the foundation for the digital economy of the future.” – Friso
Haringsma, Managing Director van Datacenter United.


“For Hasselt DC, this is a logical step to be able to develop the full potential of our data centers. As a
pioneer of colocation data centers in Limburg, this laid the foundation for the digital development of
the region at the time. This joining of forces ensures an increase in scale and further connects the
Limburg region with the rest of Flanders.” - René Lacroix, CEO of Hasselt DC.


“This investment represents a great step forward in our ambition to build a leading group of data
centers in Belgium. With this, Datacenter United further diversifies its presence to serve a broad
customer base. We look forward to continuing this growth path together with the management team
to shape the digital infrastructure for the world of tomorrow.” – Arnoud de Ridder, Director Digital
Infrastructure TINC.
