Lars Save, President and CEO of MSC Group: ”The acquisition of Generic Systems will be a central part of an exciting and partly new business area for MSC. We intend to drive the business forward with continued
main focus on the defense authorities. With the acquisition, MSC strengthens and broadens its presence with authorities in the areas of public infrastructure, security and defense. We see this as a very interesting
market segment where MSC has the opportunity to expand and where Generic Systems will become a central and large part of our business.”
