The acquisition of TAF3 in Tallinn is part of IPTE’s automation strategy to have a strong presence in the Nordic region to support their customers. Mr. Aivar Elbrecht, general manager of TAF3: “We are happy to join the IPTE network. We believe we are together creating an added value for IPTE and TAF3.

This will bring us the International dimension we were aiming before.” Mr. Luc Switten, CEO IPTE: “This acquisition fits perfectly in the global account strategy of IPTE automation. It gives IPTE the engineering capabilities for the telecom and automation industry with a local competence en supply center in the Nordic area. It brings a win-win situation for both parties.
