"The EMS sector is one of the world’s toughest, and arguably the one most affected by globalisation. Note was early to realise that it had big opportunities in combining sophisticated technological and commercial services close to customers, while simultaneously reducing the cost of labour-intensive processes", Göran Jansson, Acting CEO & President at Note states.
