Iron Mountain acquires Società Italiana Archivi
Company Adds Leading Records Management and Document Management Solutions Provider to Expand Footprint and Range of Services Offered in Italy

Rome, 20. March 2007 - Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM) announced the acquisition of Società Italiana Archivi from its founding partners. Iron Mountain, the global leader in information protection and storage services, entered Italy in 2004, and provides Records Management services to the Milan and Verona markets. Since it was founded in 1992, Società Italiana Archivi has grown to operate a nationwide footprint of facilities servicing the Milan, the North West, Rome, Venice and Naples markets. The company employs over one hundred staff, and services local and global customers across a broad range of vertical markets.

"Iron Mountain has long admired the Società Italiana Archivi business. This is a key strategic move for us that provides a national footprint of quality facilities which complements our existing facility in Piacenza. We are very pleased to acquire a strong portfolio of customer relationships and a very experienced management team with the business, including two of the original founders. They have built up a great reputation for providing quality service over the last fifteen years and we are excited to welcome the employees into the Iron Mountain family," explained Rene van Eijkelenburg, Managing Director for Western Europe.

"Joining forces with the global leader in information protection and storage services will benefit our customers and employees. Customers will come to enjoy a broader range of services and the global resources of Iron Mountain will provide great support for us to continue to invest in the Italian market and grow this business," added Giorgio Castro, one of the original founders who is staying with the business.

"In addition to our Records Management offering, we are investing in our Document Management Solutions offering across Europe as we see the trend towards the integration of physical and digital information accelerating. We are committed to growing the scale of our business in Italy, so the product portfolio of Società Italiana Archivi is a great match for us," commented Marc Duale, President of Iron Mountain Europe.
