Eurofiber

What Eurofiber does

Eurofiber is a privately held European digital infrastructure provider founded in 2000 and headquartered in Maarssen, Netherlands. The company owns and operates a 77,500 km open fiber-optic network across the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, and Luxembourg, growing by approximately 60 km per week, alongside eleven Tier 3 datacenters in the Netherlands and France totaling 26.1 MVA of power capacity. Its network connects more than 300 datacenters and provides high-quality fiber connections to over 12,000 locations; the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy has designated it a 'vital' infrastructure company. 61% of Dutch mobile traffic, 77%+ of Dutch hospitals, and 74% of Dutch universities run over its network.

Eurofiber's core product set spans connectivity (Managed Dark Fiber, WDM up to 1.6 Tb/s, Ethernet VPN, Business Internet up to 10 Gb/s, SD-WAN), cloud and datacenter services (Secure Cloud Connect to Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud; the DCspine software-defined interconnection platform; colocation), and security offerings (WDM Encrypted with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 optical-layer encryption; Quantum Key Distribution-based Quantum Safe Networking). Notable technical differentiators include QKD partnerships with Q*Bird, Cisco, QuTech, Single Quantum, and INSPIR8ION through the Quantum Communication Fieldlab Rotterdam, and a EUR 1 million QUEST grant project. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring multi-year connectivity subscriptions and managed colocation services, with quote-based pricing rather than public rate cards.

Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (international team for hyperscalers, carriers, system integrators, aggregators, and cloud providers; country-specific teams in NL/BE/FR/DE), a partner program with API-driven postcode-check and price-quote integration, and an online self-service portal (DCspine). Reported 2025 revenue is EUR 349 million (up 13% from EUR 308 million in 2024), with 2026 guidance of EUR 361 million and projected capex of EUR 203 million. The company has recently divested its Unifiber stake to Proximus for EUR 75 million, sold Eurofiber Netz Berlin to MIH Group, and entered exclusive negotiations to sell four French datacenters to Etix, while completing the Arcadiz acquisition (2025) to deepen Benelux optical-networking capability.

Scale indicators16 records

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• KPN: Incumbent Dutch telecom operator with national fiber and 5G footprint serving enterprise and wholesale customers. Overlaps with Eurofiber in Dutch business connectivity, wavelength, and carrier services but also competes through its regulated consumer and wholesale divisions.
• Equinix: Global colocation and interconnection platform with significant Amsterdam and Frankfurt presence. Comparable to Eurofiber's datacenter colocation and DCspine interconnection offerings, though Equinix is much larger and offers broader managed services and cloud on-ramps.
• Proximus: Belgian incumbent telecom that recently acquired Eurofiber's 50.01% Unifiber stake for €75M and operates competing fiber assets in Belgium. Comparable as a fiber operator and former JV partner, but with national incumbent scale and broader consumer/SME business.
• Digital Realty: Global datacenter REIT operating PlatformDIGITAL and Interxion-acquired assets across Europe including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Paris. Comparable to Eurofiber's 11 Tier 3 datacenter portfolio and DCspine interconnection strategy, though at significantly larger scale and broader enterprise focus.
• Lumen Technologies (Europe / Cirion): Global fiber and wavelength operator with European footprint, divesting Latin American assets. Comparable to Eurofiber in wholesale wavelengths and IP transit but operates at much larger scale across multiple continents with broader service portfolio.

Direct peers

• RETN: International network service provider owning a pan-European fiber backbone with significant Benelux presence, offering IP transit, wavelength, and dark fiber services to carriers and hyperscalers. Operates at similar scale and pricing model to Eurofiber's wholesale business.
• Zayo Group: Large North American and European fiber operator owned by DigitalBridge, providing dark fiber, wavelengths, and managed network services to carriers, hyperscalers, and enterprises. Comparable scale and product mix to Eurofiber, particularly in long-haul and metro fiber across Western Europe.
• euNetworks: Pan-European fiber operator headquartered in London that owns and operates a dense fiber network across Western Europe, offering dark fiber, wavelength, and Ethernet services to carriers, hyperscalers, and enterprises — directly comparable to Eurofiber in footprint, customer mix, and product set.
• Colt Technology Services: London-headquartered provider of enterprise and wholesale fiber, wavelengths, and SD-WAN across Europe and Asia with a strong on-net datacenter strategy. Colt is both a Eurofiber customer and QKD innovation partner, making it the closest comparable in network topology and product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Aqua Comms: Operator of subsea and terrestrial fiber networks connecting Europe and North America, focused on hyperscaler and carrier wholesale capacity. Comparable to Eurofiber's long-haul and wavelength offering on transatlantic corridors, though smaller in metro and on-net datacenter reach.
