The LVM GEO platform is well-tested, future-proof, and easy to use. Our colleagues in Latvia already know the system and have good experience with it, and we look forward to introducing it to our divisions in Denmark and Germany. The cooperation with LVM is of strategic importances to Dalgas and is a significant step in our effort to develop our services to our clients on our five key markets around the Baltic Sea as well as enabling us to expand our services to new markets in Northern Europe.
