“Translink Germany has again been key to a successful acquisition for CECOP. They always have the interests and dynamics of both parties in mind, and this has proven to be the right approach. Many thanks to Andreas, Daniel, and the whole team at Translink Germany,” said Jorge Rubio, CEO and Shareholder at CECOP.
“For the second time within six months, we were able to successfully advise on a strategic transaction of our client CECOP in Germany. Through these two acquisitions CECOP has already achieved a relevant market position and will consequently continue this path..
