ERIKS supports Econosto’s international growth strategy and the proposed acquisition will contribute to an accelerated realization of this strategy, which fits well into ERIKS’ own strategy, whereby ERIKS sees Econosto’s current activities in the Middle East as an exciting opportunity to further establish its international footprint,” ERIKS said in a statement.
