In the period up to today we have succeeded with this goal and have a very positive trend in both revenue and EBITDA-margins. In addition, there are created close relationships with a wide range of customers based on the principle of mutual respect and trust. This culture fits well with the philosophy of building and maintenance of customer relationships and building strong relationships with partners.
”By becoming a ”full” member of the Trifork-family it makes it even easier for us to integrate functions and share resources and business opportunities with other business units within the Trifork Group, and we expect this to create even more growth for TPC and Trifork, “says Steffen Bering Jensen, Managing dir., TPC.
”From the very beginning we have had a good synergy with TPC and we are really pleased to be able to adopt the company completely in the family”, said Jørn Larsen, CEO, Trifork, and continues: “ With the acquisition we just state that the original decision to make close partnership was the right for both parties – and we look forward to the future developments.”
