ATC Computer Transport & Logistics GmbH

ATC Computer Transport & Logistics (ATC) is a leading Irish company providing highly specialised transport, logistics, and technical services to hyperscale data centre operators, global freight forwarders, co-location providers and Software as a Service (SaaS) companies worldwide. Founded 45 years ago by Alan and Patricia Young and now led by their son Keith Young, ATC is an Irish family-owned business with a global outlook. Headquartered in Dublin, ATC has a footprint across Europe and New Zealand. ATC also has offices in London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Frankfurt, employing over 250 people from over 31 nationalities.

For over 40 years, ATC has implemented award-winning practices to reduce emissions and was one of the first companies in Europe to be accredited with the Green TruckSafe Standard from the Freight Transport Association Ireland (FTAI). ATC has also significantly strengthened its commitment to the ‘Driving Green Strategy’ over the past 2 years, rapidly scaling up green initiatives across Ireland and Europe to achieve its ambitious targets of zero-tailpipe emissions and companywide net zero emissions by 2030. This includes the recent delivery of nine battery-electric Volvo Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) — one of the most significant investments in a private fleet of its nature in Ireland. ATC also expanded its fleet earlier this year with ten Volkswagen ID. Buzz vans which are now operating across Ireland and Europe.

For us at ATC networking and collaboration is key to achieve ours and our clients very ambitious net-zero 2030 goals! The GDA provides an innovative platform with their conferences, think tanks and networking events to meet and exchange with like-minded people from the German data centre industry.

The addition of five new battery electric Volvo HGVs to our global fleet positions us at the forefront of green cloud logistics and services both at a national and international level. ATC is aligning with global environmental standards and setting new Green Logistics targets. By transitioning to a greener fleet, we are helping our data centre clients to decarbonise their supply chain, showcasing that a more sustainable business model is possible for the logistics business. It also proves for our business that decarbonisation can be decoupled from economic growth. As a result, we look forward to seeing this investment's positive impact on our operations and clients.
