Data Clean Corporation has acquired another data center cleaning business, its fourth in less than 12 months.
The company this week announced the acquisition of DC Canada, a provider of decontamination services for critical environments focused on data centers across Canada. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Ontario, DC Canada provides specialty decontamination removal and control services.
Data Clean said DC Canada has cultivated an “exceptional reputation” through the services it offers to hyperscalers, Internet service providers, colocation facilities, and enterprise data center clients.
“DC Canada’s unwavering commitment to excellence for their clients resonates deeply with Data Clean’s values,” said Rich Hill, president of Data Clean. “Together, we combine decades of expertise with innovative technology designed to deliver sustainable solutions for controlled environment decontamination in the North American market.”
DC Canada founder, Bob Isbister, added: “When our family decided to enter this partnership, we found in Data Clean the same commercial confidence, dedication to growth, and loyalty to clients as DC Canada. We believe Data Clean is the ideal partner to provide us with the resources to capitalize on the next generation of opportunities in Canada’s data center sector.”
Data Clean was founded in 1979 and offers specialized facility maintenance services. The company is based in Illinois but has branches in Canada, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the UAE. The company lists Meta, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and NASA among its customers.
The transaction marks Data Clean’s fourth acquisition since it was acquired by Angeles Equity Partners in November 2022.
“The combination with DC Canada accelerates Data Clean’s strategy to expand its service offering and geographic reach within the critical environment decontamination sector,” said Frank Spelman, managing director at Angeles Equity Partners. “We are excited about Data Clean’s growth prospects, driven by AI applications, Edge computing growth, and cloud capacity expansion across the North American data center market.”
The company acquired SML Enterprises in June 2023 and Sealco LLC in November 2023, two other critical environment cleaning businesses serving data centers in the US. In March 2024 the company acquired Colorado-based DP Guardian, Inc.
Angeles Equity Partners is a lower middle-market private equity investment firm that focuses on underperforming industrial businesses.
