With the new orders, THEON has managed to add two more countries to its already large existing customer base, which now counts 70 countries that use THEON’s state-of-the-art systems, hence increasing interoperability of European and NATO forces.
THEON continues delivering on its business plan maintaining its high organic growth. At the same time, the Company advances with the M&A activities and has made significant progress on some fronts, aiming to make announcements in the coming months.
Christian Hadjiminas, founder and CEO of THEON, commented: “Despite the variable and fluid geopolitical and economic environment, THEON continues its growth, demonstrating excellent business performance and ensuring preservation of its sustainability.”
