Company's Background:

Irrawaddy Green Towers is one of four new tower companies operating in Myanmar. They started out as Golden Towers, a newly formed towerco with a small portfolio in Vietnam, and an interest in Myanmar.

Golden Towers found themselves on a shortlist of two towercos, together with VIOM QUIPPO, bidding for the award of a contract for 1,500 towers for anchor tenant Telenor Myanmar. Telenor liked Golden Tower's speciality in power, and liked the proven track record of VIOM QUIPPO, so they joined forces in a 50-50 partnership to create a combined towerco.

Golden Towers is backed by Alcazar Capital, a private equity firm out of Dubai, while its partners VIOM QUIPPO’s financing comes from their original investors, SREI Group.
