London, 28 May 2026 – Portus Data Centers (“Portus” or “the Company”), a regional data centre platform with colocation facilities in Germany and adjacent countries, has, together with Arcus Infrastructure Partners (“Arcus”), successfully raised a financing package of €80m from NIBC, Rabobank and UniCredit.
The financing comprises a €70m capex facility and a €10m revolving credit facility. The proceeds of the capex facility will primarily be used to fund the ongoing development of the Munich 2 project (“MUC2”), a new 5.5MW colocation facility being constructed in Portus’ existing Munich campus. Featuring a leading, energy-efficient design, MUC2 will deliver much-needed high-quality IT capacity to the Munich market. Service commencement is expected in Q1 2027. The financing package also provides a €200m uncommitted accordion to support future growth.
Charlie Scott, Senior Investment Director at Arcus and Asset Manager of Portus, commented: “Portus has been successfully expanding its capacity to meet increasing customer demand, and this financing marks an important milestone in that growth journey. This project will enable the development of MUC 2 in Munich, which will provide the equivalent capacity of Portus’ three existing data centres combined, significantly strengthening our platform. With persistent customer demand for resilient, high-performance data centre capacity, this investment ensures Portus remains well positioned to support its customers’ evolving needs.”
Falk Weinreich, Group CEO of Portus, commented: “We are pleased to have partnered with NIBC, Rabobank and UniCredit to support the next phase of our growth, enabling us to continue accelerating our growth path and expansion in the southern German market with the addition of 5.5MW of secure, well-connected and scalable IT capacity. We are grateful to Arcus for driving this financing forward to a successful outcome.”
Arcus and Portus were advised on this transaction by Macquarie Capital and White & Case LLP. Ashurst acted as legal advisor to the lenders.

London, 30 April 2026 – Arcus Infrastructure Partners (“Arcus”) is pleased to announce the agreement to acquire c. 74% of TrueNoord (or the “Company”). The acquisition is the second investment for Arcus European Infrastructure Fund 4 SCSp (“AEIF4” or the “Fund”), which successfully reached its €3bn hard cap in December 2025, following a seven-month fundraising period.
Founded in 2016 with offices in Amsterdam, Dublin, London and Singapore, TrueNoord is a leading specialist lessor of regional aircraft, operating predominantly across Europe and North America, while also serving other growing international markets. The Company focuses on the acquisition, leasing and active management of turboprop and regional jet aircraft supporting socially and economically critical medium‑haul connectivity, underpinned by disciplined fleet, credit and technical management.
TrueNoord serves a diversified customer base of commercial, regional and State‑backed airlines, leasing a well‑invested fleet managed by an experienced in‑house team. The fleet comprises approximately 111 aircraft leased to 37 airlines across 25 countries, primarily under long‑term leases of up to 15 years at inception. The business has demonstrated resilience through multiple economic cycles, including the COVID‑19 pandemic, and continues to perform very well amid ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility, with strong lease renewal dynamics and very high fleet utilisation.
The Company benefits from robust infrastructure characteristics operating in a heavily regulated industry with high capital intensity, predictable cashflows, diversified lessee exposure, and meaningful downside protection. Regional aviation plays a vital social and economic role, providing essential connectivity where alternative transport options are limited. These fundamentals are reinforced by constrained new‑build supply alongside growing demand for asset‑light fleet solutions from airlines, supporting long‑term lease rate stability. The management team are highly experienced and entrepreneurial, having grown the business from a “start-up”, and have a long track record of leasing regional aircraft through their full lifecycle.
TrueNoord has multiple growth avenues, including sale-and-leaseback transactions with airlines, secondary purchases of mid-life aircraft, and a secured new build order book. The platform has established a strong reputation and track record of disciplined growth, risk management and capital optimisation, supported by a best-in-class management team.
From an ESG perspective, TrueNoord aligns well with Arcus’ long‑term sustainable investment strategy. The Company operates a modern, fuel‑efficient fleet, reports Scope 1, 2 and material Scope 3 emissions, and is well positioned to benefit from improved aircraft efficiency and the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel. Arcus will work with management to further strengthen ESG governance and advance a science‑based decarbonisation roadmap.
Michael Allen, Partner and Head of Transport at Arcus, commented: “TrueNoord is an excellent fit with our AEIF4 investment strategy, providing critical connectivity through its specialist regional aircraft portfolio. TrueNoord stood out as a high‑quality aircraft leasing platform combining a strong track record of disciplined growth, risk management and capital optimisation, supported by an experienced management team. TrueNoord benefits from attractive infrastructure characteristics and a differentiated position supported by growing demand for regional aircraft. This is an ideal entry point for Arcus, where we can apply our experience in asset leasing and capital optimisation to support the next phase of the Company’s growth. We look forward to partnering with the TrueNoord management team as the business continues to scale and strengthen its market position.”
Anne-Bart Tieleman, CEO of TrueNoord, said: “We are delighted to welcome Arcus Infrastructure Partners as our new long-term investor to facilitate our growth in the 50-150 seat regional aircraft leasing sector. They are investing in our business development expertise, our knowledgeable and experienced team, as well as our dynamic brand. The whole team at TrueNoord embraces this change and the momentum of our future trajectory.”
The transaction is expected to complete by Q3 2026, subject to certain regulatory and other conditions precedent.
Arcus was advised by PWP (M&A), Freshfields LLP (Legal), Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP (Legal – Funds counsel), IBA (Commercial), PwC (Financial, Tax), Deloitte (Structuring), and Aon (Insurance).

London, 12 March 2026 – Arcus Infrastructure Partners (“Arcus”) is pleased to announce that FixMap sp. z o.o., (“FixMap” or “the Company”), a Polish fibre-to-the-home (“FTTH”) operator and a portfolio company in Arcus European Infrastructure Fund 3 SCSp (“AEIF3”), has entered into an agreement to acquire Skynet sp. z o.o. (“Skynet”). Skynet is a FTTH operator and Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) based in Warsaw.
FixMap has been established through a highly active buy-and-build strategy, with Skynet representing the twenty-third acquisition for the Company and the third acquisition under AEIF3’s ownership.
Skynet is a regional FTTH operator, with c. 56k homes passed (“HPs”) and c. 19k homes connected (“HCs”) across the Greater Warsaw area, delivering reliable fixed internet, television, and radio internet services to both retail and business customers. The Company has plans to widen its existing network coverage with the roll-out of a further c. 46k HPs in the area, almost doubling its network.
Skynet’s network is geographically adjacent to the footprints of four existing FixMap subsidiaries operating in and around Warsaw. Integrating Skynet into the FixMap Group will further consolidate the Group’s presence in the region.
FixMap was founded in 2018 and operates through local subsidiaries, covering c. 430k HPs and c. 134k HCs across Poland2. FixMap subsidiaries are both ISPs and network operators and seven of these subsidiaries today also provide wholesale services to Orange Polska, the leading telecommunications provider in Poland.
The acquisition of Skynet increases FixMap’s footprint to c. 486k HPs and c. 153k HCs immediately post-transaction, enhancing its scale, customer reach, and competitive standing within the Warsaw metropolitan area.
Christopher Ehrke, Partner and Head of Digital at Arcus, commented: “Consolidation of the fragmented Polish FTTH market remains FixMap’s strategic priority. The acquisition of Skynet as a high-quality regional operator will further strengthen FixMap’s presence and positioning in the Greater Warsaw area. This marks the third acquisition under AEIF3’s ownership, following the acquisitions of Internet Union and Stimo.Net and we continue to actively engage with a robust M&A pipeline of other regional Polish network operators, successfully delivering on FixMap’s buy and build strategy.”
Piotr Muszynski FixMap minority shareholder and CEO commented: “The acquisition of Skynet represents an important transaction for FixMap, not only because of Skynet’s existing market position, but also due to its high growth potential proven by the current significant KPO/FERC project under advanced deployment. I would like to thank the FixMap, Arcus and Skynet teams for their hard work and highly professional engagement over the last few months.
FixMap was advised by,Wierciński,Kwieciński Baehr (Legal), Veroservice and WEDUIT (Technical), and Grant Thornton (Financial, Tax and Structuring).

London, 7 January 2026 – Arcus Infrastructure Partners (“Arcus”) is delighted to announce the agreement to acquire Wifinity by Arcus European Infrastructure Fund 3 SCSp (“AEIF3” or the“ Fund”), with the management team retaining a small minority interest alongside the Fund. The transaction also marks an exit for UK private equity investor LDC following a successful four-year partnership.
Founded in 2007, Wifinity designs, builds, and manages mission-critical connectivity infrastructure network solutions for complex, multi-site, and multi-tenant environments. The Company generates resilient, predictable cash flows from serving clients across diverse markets including defence, leisure, specialist accommodation, corporate and public sector, and offshore, with specialised requirements and high barriers to entry underpinned by complex procurement processes, regulatory requirements and bespoke technical needs. These end-markets demand tailored connectivity solutions that traditional telecom operators lack the capability and service model to provide.

We look forward to working closely with the management team as the Company enters its next phase of expansion.”
Costas Demetriou, CEO at Wifinity, commented: “This transaction marks an exciting new chapter in Wifinity’s evolution. Over the past eighteen years, we have built a market-leading platform focused on delivering highly resilient, bespoke connectivity solutions where connectivity is mission-critical and where deep technical expertise, operational resilience, and long-term partnerships truly matter. Arcus’ investment philosophy, experience in scaling essential digital infrastructure businesses and track record of supporting management teams combined with its long-term, value-add approach to investment, makes it an ideal partner for the next phase of our development. Together, we see a clear opportunity to accelerate organic growth across our core verticals, selectively expand into adjacent markets, and continue investing in our network, technology, and people, while maintaining the entrepreneurial culture that has underpinned Wifinity’s success to date.”
The acquisition of Wifinity represents the ninth investment in AEIF3 and the third in the Digital sector after the acquisitions of FixMap, the Fund’s Polish FTTH business , and Portus Data Centers, the Fund’s data centre platform in Germany and Luxembourg.

London, 5 January 2026 – Arcus Infrastructure Partners (“Arcus”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 100% of WCCTV Group Limited (“WCCTV” or the “Company”) by Arcus European Infrastructure Fund 4 SCSp (“AEIF4” or “the Fund”) alongside the WCCTV management team. The acquisition will mark the first investment for AEIF4, which successfully reached its €3bn hard cap in December 2025, following a seven-month fundraising period. The transaction also marks an exit for UK private equity investor LDC following a successful five-year partnership.
WCCTV is a full-service, specialised leasing provider of managed re-deployable video surveillance (“RVS”) assets for temporary security and monitoring solutions in the UK and the US. Established in 2001 and headquartered in Rochdale, UK, WCCTV offers an end-to-end specialist offering, comprising the leasing of fuel cell and solar-powered CCTV towers and trailers, along with a wrapper of value-added services such as advisory on site configuration, tech-enabled surveillance and monitoring connected to outsourced alarm receiving centres, ongoing asset maintenance, fuel provision, and, increasingly, data capture to support customer operations.
WCCTV operates from a strategically located network of 10 depot hubs in the UK and US, owning and leasing a well invested fleet comprising c. 1,655 RVS towers and c. 1,520 RVS trailers with a technical asset life for both RVS asset pools of c. 15-20 years. The Company serves a diversified, blue-chip customer base across infrastructure and utilities, government and law enforcement, large-scale commercial and industrial construction, retail, logistics, car parking and property management for a range of security and monitoring use cases. WCCTV’s solutions have a high degree of positive impact from an environmental, social and governance perspective, with solar-powered and low carbon towers and trailers across its fleet and a critical role to play in ensuring the security, safety and compliance of customer sites and assets.
WCCTV is one of the market leaders in the RVS solutions space, providing critical RVS asset leasing solutions which protect and monitor infrastructure and enterprise assets for a diversified range of resilient customer end markets. The Company is well positioned to support its customers through an ongoing multi-decade infrastructure and utilities asset renewal cycle as well as steady growth in broader industrial, commercial and government end market activity. WCCTV serves as an essential operating partner to its customers in addressing increasing security and monitoring requirements linked to rising asset values, sustained and elevated crime rates, worksite health and safety requirements, and tightening insurance, compliance and regulatory standards. As a pioneer in the development of RVS solutions, the Company continues to evolve its asset fleet and service proposition to ensure industry-leading operational standards and capabilities as RVS assets become the go-to solution to address a wide range of security and monitoring requirements.
Jordan Cott, Partner and Head of Logistics & Industrials at Arcus, commented: “WCCTV is an excellent fit with our AEIF4 investment strategy, providing mission-critical solutions to resilient and growing end markets, with a longstanding market leadership position underpinned by its value-added asset leasing business model and trusted customer relationships, and a significant value creation opportunity as the Company continues to innovate, improve and grow. WCCTV stood out as an ideal platform in the RVS solutions landscape given its unique combination of time-tested market leadership in the UK together with its strong foothold in the fast-growing US market. This is a perfect stage for Arcus to enter this market and support the business, as we will apply our significant experience investing in industrial asset leasing companies to optimise and accelerate WCCTV’s ambitious growth plan. We are delighted for this to mark our first investment for AEIF4 and look forward to partnering with David and the broader WCCTV management team through the next chapter.”
David Gilbertson, CEO of WCCTV, commented: “I am delighted to have a leading infrastructure investor like Arcus on board for the next phase of growth at WCCTV. Arcus recognises the strength of WCCTV, our people, our customer relationships, and the market-leading systems we have built over the past two decades. We have full alignment with Arcus on our long-term strategy and ambition, and we strongly believe that this partnership will give us the ideal platform to scale the business further, invest in our assets, technology and service offering, and ultimately accelerate growth across the UK and the US. This transaction marks an important milestone for WCCTV, and I am excited to work with Arcus as we build on our leading position and supercharge the next chapter of our growth journey.”
The transaction is expected to complete in Q1 2026, subject to relevant regulatory clearances.
