Iñaki Arbulu, CEO of Grupo Arbulu said, “To reflect our continuing success and to enable us to deal with our future growth plans it was very important for us to incorporate to our group a leading player like NAVTEAM. NAVTEAM is formed by an excellent team of highly qualified professionals specialised in marine electronic service with a strong international mind-set, and we have no doubt that this partnership will be to mutual benefit”.

 Jens Byrdal, managing director and CEO of NAVTEAM said, “The strong and determined effort of our entire team has made NAVTEAM what it is today. We have an excellent platform, but this new partnership with Grupo Arbulu will provide us with unique opportunities to combine our network of service stations and thus strengthen our capabilities further to service and support our customers worldwide”.
