Greece's Titan Group advances low-carbon solutions for booming data center market

Greek cement producer Titan Group is advancing its solutions for data centers in a bid to deliver high-performance, low-carbon materials to support the rapid expansion of digital infrastructure across Europe and the US, the company said in a statement Dec. 4.

"Across Europe, the demand for sustainable digital infrastructure is accelerating," said Yanni Paniaras, CEO, Titan Europe. "By combining advanced materials with local expertise, we're helping data centre developers deliver projects that meet both performance and environmental goals, extending our experience on projects for Greece, Western Balkans, and beyond."

In Europe, the implementation of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) and the ongoing digital transformation in countries such as Greece are driving significant new investments in data centers, the company added.

The company is delivering its Titan Edge products -- including Velter in Greece -- as well as a broad range of advanced cement and ready-mix concrete offerings in the US to meet the evolving needs of data center customers, the company said.

Currently, Titan is involved in 80% of the data center projects under construction in Greece, and in the US, Titan America, since 2022, has provided products to approximately 40% of the 250 data centers constructed in its served markets, including projects for Amazon Web Services.

"By continuously advancing our technologies and creating innovative new materials, we are able to bring high-performance products and proprietary solutions to market. This capability enables us to address the unique challenges of fast-growing sectors such as hyperscale data centres, where reliability, efficiency, and resilience are paramount," said Bill Zarkalis, president and CEO of Titan America.
