The entire power chain, or only the link you outsource.

One address for the entire chain: we install the cabling and power distribution, position and install the UPS, handle the full battery scope and set up the aisle containment. And we handle everything around it too: transport, storage and moving in, right to position in the hall. Four links, one crew, one point of contact.

What we believe in

Four convictions that shape how we work, from the people on the floor to the partners who rely on us.

Get to know us →
01

The people behind the cloud.

The digital world runs on power and on the craftspeople who keep that power running.

02

No fuss, just done.

One crew across the entire chain, no handover in between. What we bring in, we also put in place.

03

Certainty without compromise.

Where uptime is everything, almost-good doesn't exist. No shortcuts, because every mistake is downtime.

04

Every brand, one partner.

Whatever brand of UPS or battery is installed: we position and install it. Brand-independent, with one interest only: your project.

What does First Case do?

We carry out the work that critical power in data centres calls for: cabling and power distribution, UPS installation, the full battery scope and aisle containment. Around that we provide white glove transport, warehousing, load bank assist and ESD cleaning. We have done this since 2004, from Wateringen in the Netherlands and with our own engineers. Every brand, one partner.

Who does First Case work for?

Our primary clients are UPS manufacturers. We also work for their channel: distributors, integrators and installers, and M&E contractors. The work itself takes place on the floors of data centre operators and hosting providers. Our Clients & partners page lists who we work for, group by group.

What does brand-independent mean in practice?

Whatever brand of UPS or battery is on site, we position and install it, lead-acid as well as lithium. We carry no brand and never buy on speculation, so we have no stake in one brand or another. The choice of system lies with you or your client; we carry out the work.

Who handles commissioning, testing and maintenance of the UPS: the manufacturer or First Case?

The manufacturer. Commissioning, testing and maintenance of the UPS stay with the manufacturer or the system builder. We position, install, replace and decommission, and hand the system over install-ready. Batteries we cover in full, always on assignment: change-out, testing, monitoring and certified disposal.

Which countries does First Case work in?

We are based in Wateringen, in the triangle between Rotterdam, The Hague and Schiphol. From there we work on site in the Netherlands and across EMEA. Our cases are in the Netherlands, Germany and Turkey; in Germany, for example, we are replacing 11.600+ batteries across 50+ UPS systems.

Which certifications does First Case hold?

As a company: VCA · NEN 4400-1 · SBB Erkend Leerbedrijf. They cover recognised standards for safety, reliable contracting and training skilled professionals. As an SBB Erkend Leerbedrijf, a recognised training company, we train our own engineers, partly through our own Academy.
