In addition to a footprint in the Nordics which opens great development prospects, we are strengthening our “smart industry” branch with high-level skills in product development and embedded systems. We were convinced both by the technical skills of Conmore employees and by the ambition of its management team.
We are now able to provide comprehensive support to our customers in the automotive, defense and rail sectors, thanks to our local offices and our large base in Poland. Starting today, I am very happy to be able to involve all Conmore employees in the Astek development adventure.”
