Collectively, the company’s tower infrastructure portfolio providing statewide 5G coverage, gigabit speed fixed line network that passes 99% of Maltese premises, and the largest Tier 3 data center in Malta allow Melita to provide its clients a comprehensive range of digital services.
The infrastructure franchise of Goldman Sachs Alternatives has a long history of collaborating with companies in its four main areas: energy transition, digital infrastructure, transportation & logistics, and the circular economy, to promote their expansion and efficiency in operation.
Harald Rösch, CEO of Melita, stated: “The Melita team is extremely pleased that Goldman Sachs Alternatives will support our growth going forward. Melita was the first operator in the European Union to deploy both a nationwide gigabit broadband network and a nationwide 5G network. Together with the Goldman Sachs team, we will bring this infrastructure to the next level of reliability and speed. Customer satisfaction is at the core of our business – we are proud that we have already achieved very high standards, but we are committed to reach even higher levels of excellence in the years to come.”
Robert Clark, managing director in Infrastructure at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, added: “We are excited to partner with Harald and the Melita team in the next stage of their journey. They have done a fantastic job establishing themselves as a market leader with a high-quality network, large customer base and top-tier executive team with whom we will drive continued growth and success. Melita is a great example of the opportunities available in the digital infrastructure space and we are excited to make this investment to support Melita’s continued growth on behalf of our clients.”
