PATRIK HÖIJER, CEO, COMMENTS:
’The market conditions in Europe have continued to be under pressure, where end-users are currently showing a tendency to delay IT investments. We have, despite this, demonstrated resilience and have delivered a robust growth result. A notable development in the industry is the increasing focus of major OEMs on certified refurbishment programs. We’re particularly excited about our collaboration with these OEMs as we have been selected to be the first pilot partner for their certified refurbishing efforts. There is little doubt that the circular business model will continue to gain momentum in the IT-industry in the coming months and years’.
