Our long history, technical expertise, and strong partnership with Trimble fit well with Cansel’s strategy to expand its international footprint and strengthen its position within Trimble’s global distribution network. As we join this broader group, our customers can expect the same great service from the same customer-focused teams, enhanced by the additional resources and stability this partnership brings. I’m sure I speak for everyone at KOREC when I say we look forward to working with the Cansel team to continue to empower our customers to work smarter.”
