The group NorthC has officially inaugurated its new data center in Winterthur, marking its fourth facility in Swiss territory. This opening strengthens the company’s international growth strategy, establishing Winterthur as a key node for regional data communication and access to a wide variety of connectivity providers, such as Colt, Gas&Com, and Init 7.
Strategically located near the Turm Areal, this data center offers 1,100 square meters of space, combining colocation services, secure cloud connections, and guaranteed bandwidth for critical business applications. With an initial capacity of 1.8 MW, the center has expansion plans to accommodate future demand growth.
Regional Connectivity with Global Reach
NorthC’s new data center in Winterthur integrates with its facilities in Münchenstein (Basel) and Biel (Bern) through a high-speed backbone, ensuring reliable connectivity with a large number of cloud and IT service providers. This infrastructure allows companies to operate locally while benefiting from international reach.
Patrik Hofer, managing director of NorthC Switzerland, emphasized the importance of this investment:
“Regionality is key for us. We offer local data center services with a global reach. The increasing demand for data centers, connectivity services, and hybrid cloud solutions has led us to open this new space in Winterthur, where we can provide customized solutions that meet the highest standards of quality, security, and sustainability.”
Commitment to Sustainability
The data center of NorthC in Winterthur operates on 100% renewable energy, and as part of the company’s sustainability strategy for 2030, plans are in place to responsibly utilize waste heat in an environmentally friendly manner.
Recognition from the Local Business Community
The opening has also been well received by the local economic environment. Dr. Ralph Peterli, general director of the Winterthur Chamber of Commerce and Business Association, highlighted the relevance of the project:
“Winterthur is home to technology leaders from various sectors. Both large companies and SMEs manage increasing volumes of data and require stable and secure IT infrastructures. NorthC’s presence strengthens this security and confidence in our city.”
The official inauguration took place with a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony, attended by NorthC executives and institutional representatives, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainable growth that meets local needs with a global vision.
