Consafe’s CEO, Kent Olsson, emphasized the cultural and operational compatibility between the two companies, noting their shared mission to address diverse client requirements effectively. Meanwhile, Solid WMS’s Remco Somers expressed optimism about the synergy in combining innovative solutions with experienced market presence under Consafe’s leadership.
