Eugene Wolf, Managing Director of Logicalis, is particularly pleased with this acquisition: “In Logicalis we’ve found the ideal home.

In parallel, our services will also be offered in countries in which Logicalis is already established, including the UK, Australia, China, the US, Germany and parts of South America.

We’ve therefore welcomed this acquisition very enthusiastically. It offers a great many opportunities.”
