Descriptiontext

KIO Networks is a Mexican digital infrastructure company founded in 2002 that operates a network of 20 data centers across Latin America, comprising 13 core facilities delivering a combined 26MW of IT capacity. The company provides colocation services, cloud connectivity, and high-density infrastructure explicitly designed to serve cloud and AI workloads, with notable expansion into novel data resilience technology through a strategic alliance with Lonestar Data Holdings for space-based data storage.

The company's geographic footprint is anchored in Mexico with major hubs in Querétaro (QRO1 plus the newly launched QRO2 facility totaling ~19MW), Guatemala (with a second data center announced), and Colombia. In May 2026, KIO Networks opened QRO2, a 12MW high-density facility adjacent to QRO1, signaling capacity build-out targeted at AI and hyperscale demand. The firm also acquired MASNEGOCIO in 2013 and operates a horizontal B2B go-to-market via direct enterprise sales relationships. No publicly disclosed pricing, customer logos, or revenue figures are available, and ownership beyond founder Sergio Rosengaus (co-founder, chairman & CEO) and chairman Maria Aramburuzabala is not detailed in available sources.

KIO Networks secured $350 million in acquisition-financing in 2026, suggesting an active growth and consolidation posture rather than venture-stage capital formation. The company's strategic moves in the past year — the QRO2 launch, the Guatemala expansion, and the Lonestar space-storage alliance — collectively point to a regional infrastructure operator scaling capacity for AI-era demand across Latin America.
