We are very happy with the achievements we have made, and very proud of the continued confidence our customers have in our company and in our products. With the current order backlog and with the continued positive momentum expected in the tolling and ITS markets, we look forward to a very exciting period for our company”, comments Daniel Ulz, marketing director at Efkon.
