We are convinced that Detertech is the right strategic partner for our next growth phase, as we see great synergies between our business models and, we are looking forward to expanding our services further in the Nordics based on our joint product offering.“ – Casper Wilken, CEO & Founder
„A special thanks to the Carlsquare team for guiding me through the sometimes choppy waters of M&A and making sure we reached the best possible starting point for the next phase of the journey.“
