IMAP Norway advised Braathe Gruppen on acquisition of Itum AS in Kongsberg

Braathe Gruppen AS has acquired 100% of the shares of the company Itum AS, with 1 March 2019 as closing date. The acquisition is an integral part of Braathe Gruppen’s strategy for further growth and expansion in the Norwegian cloud and IT operations services market.
