Fort Technology to Acquire 50.1% Stake in Logia USA Fuel Integrity Firm

Fort Technology Inc. — listed on both Nasdaq (FRTT) and the TSX Venture Exchange (FORT) — just made a move that puts it squarely in the data center infrastructure space. The Toronto-based company announced on August 11, 2026, that it signed a share transfer agreement to purchase 50.1% of Logia USA Inc., a company that specializes in advanced fuel integrity solutions for data centers and other mission-critical facilities across the United States.

For investors watching FRTT, this signals a strategic pivot toward the booming data center services market, though the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed in the announcement.
