“Adding SCCS to our direct sales footprint enables us to better capitalise on the growing opportunities in the UK, as well as offers SCCS customers opportunities to adopt new technologies from Hexagon’s extensive portfolio,” said Ola Rollén, Hexagon’s president and chief executive
“Additionally, not only does this acquisition…provides a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the area of equipment rental, accelerating our ability to serve the evolving needs of our global customer base.”
