Strategic merger accelerates market expansion, addresses surging demand and data center capacity constraints
Kirkland,WA and Vienna, Austria, April 14, 2025—Strategic Business Accelerator LakeView Management has merged with Data Center technology leader Diggers to form CHILLMINE, bringing next generation liquid cooling solutions to global data centers. The merger will allow the new-formed company to focus on building a global footprint, expanding from its current customer base in Europe. Promising new geographies include North America, Africa, and South Asia.
CHILLMINE was formed as a response to surging demand for innovative and efficient data centers. Capacity constraints define the data center market and CHILLMINE’S patented technology addresses these constraints head-on: Liquid cooling enables higher-density deployments in existing data centers and CHILLMINE technology makes new data center sites feasible in a decentralized way. Data Centers are the convergence point of AI, Crypto, Energy, Sustainability, and Regulation and as such, the need for reduction in energy consumption, operational cost, and environmental impact is key.
Lakeview Co-Founder and CHILLMINE CEO Brian Neirby said, “As the data center business grows exponentially around the world, the merger between our firms is timely. Combining Diggers’ technological innovation with our global track record of execution and commercialization will enable CHILLMINE to help data centers scale sustainably.” “The team is excited to open new geographies,” he added.
Martin Schechtner, Diggers’ Founder and CHILLMINE CIO said, “As we look to future-proof data centers and ensure that they are equipped to meet current and future computing needs, we will continue to innovate in liquid-cooling methods. Lakeview’s experienced team allows us to be laser focused in technology innovation while achieving commercial expansion and success in new markets.”
Data Centers currently consume 3% of world energy production; this number is slated to rise to 10% by 2030 as demand for data centers has exploded in the last five years.
