Yondr Group has formed a partnership with the Marubeni Corporation, one of the largest conglomerates in Japan, as part of the company’s expansion plans in the Japanese market.

The partnership will initially see the deployment of a site in West Tokyo, with plans for additional sites to be added in the future.

Paul Dillon, Yondr’s Chief Development Officer, said, “Marubeni is a very successful and respected business, and we are delighted to have secured such an excellent partner for future development in Tokyo and Japan, building on the progress we have already made in the APAC region.

“The depth and breadth of Marubeni’s global business interests, which include a focus on power generation, means that this partnership has the potential to provide Yondr with a pipeline for data center development and renewable energy projects in both APAC and EMEA. We look forward to progressing this relationship in a way that benefits not only both partners, but also clients in need of data center capacity and their customers throughout the world.”

Yondr has seen several expansions in APAC, with developments underway in Johor, Malaysia where the company is building the largest hyperscale data centre campus in the Southeast Asia region.
