EQT Infrastructure to acquire CAIW

The Sweden-based GP's infrastructure vehicle intends to invest in the development of CAIW's growth strategy, strengthening its market position and expanding its existing fibre network.

EQT Infrastructure said it would include CAIW in the same holding as Delta, the Dutch telecoms infrastructure company it acquired in 2016.

The new group management structure will oversee all activities related to both CAIW and Delta. It will be headed by current Delta CEO Marco Visser.

The deal is expected to close in Q4 2017.
