“The acquisition of Billink gives us access to a modern platform that generates major values for the used vehicle market. I’m pleased to say that all of Billink’s employees will be coming over to Fragus, and development of the platform will of course continue with full force,” says Lars Hansson, CEO of Fragus Group.
“Those of us who have founded and developed Billink over the past 15 years or so are delighted to become a part of Fragus and contribute to ongoing innovation. We know that this is what our customers expect,” says Stein-Erik Brynildsen, Managing Director of Billink.
