The company’ s new US entity in Atlanta, Georgia, is a strategic move to support its international expansion.
Atlanta was chosen as a key hub due to its vibrant ecosystem of fintech, AI and cloud computing, which is home to major global players like Google and Microsoft.
This presence allows Durata to provide“ boots on the ground” project delivery across the Atlantic.
It also provides a powerful extension of a proven delivery model across the UK and Europe, ensuring that Durata’ s cutting-edge modular data centres, fabricated in the UK, can be rapidly and efficiently installed across the American market.
This dual-continent structure – with Durata UK and Durata US forming Durata Global – ensures seamless project execution regardless of location.
For the company’ s UK operations, Teesside remains its headquarters.
Durata is strategically located to leverage the Teesside Freeport status. This prime location near the River Tees and at the heart of British engineering provides easy and cost-effective deployment for its modular data centres, which are shipped globally from the UK.
As the demand for computing power is growing at an unprecedented pace, driven by the exponential rise of AI, cloud services and 5G networks, the need for agile and robust data centre infrastructure has never been greater.
Durata is perfectly positioned to address this need by delivering fully bespoke modular solutions that are built for high-density rack capacity, allowing businesses to scale rapidly and operate with greater resilience.
The firm is committed to ensuring the UK maintains its competitive edge, following on from a report and roundtable summary by the BESA Group in June suggesting the market is set to surge from £ 2.3bn to an astonishing £ 1.1 trillion by 2030.
Never has it been more critical to help fuel data centre growth and Durata is at the heart of it.
This commitment extends beyond business expansion, it’ s about a strong belief in the talent and potential of the North-East.
The company is actively investing in local talent, including three new apprenticeships, to strengthen its Teesside base and create high-quality, sustainable jobs.
John said:“ Our commitment to the North-East is unwavering and it’ s a source of immense pride that we are delivering industry-leading data centre solutions right from our roots here.
“ This isn’ t just about business expansion, it’ s about a deep-seated belief in the talent and potential of this region.
“ As we scale our operations to meet the escalating global demand for critical power and data centre infrastructure, we are simultaneously creating highquality, sustainable jobs within our local communities.
“ We envision a future where Durata is not only a global leader in our field but also a driving force for economic growth and opportunity in the North-East.
“ We are committed to strengthening a pipeline of skilled talent, investing in local initiatives and ensuring that as Durata expands its global footprint, the benefits are felt right here at home.”
