By joining forces with NetOnNet we will be even better positioned to leverage our strong consumer brands and proven scalable business models to continue delivering attractive profitable growth.

By building on our complementary strengths, we will be even stronger and better positioned to continue gaining market shares across the Nordics based on our most-loved brands and a highly competitive, scalable and cost-efficient business model," says Susanne Holmström, managing director of NetOnNet and deputy CEO of Komplett.
