In a sector where every second counts, drivers often face unnecessary delays. We were impressed by the innovative solution, the proven return on investment, and the team's passion. We look forward to helping Peripass achieve its global ambitions."

Leander Naessens, CEO of Peripass shared: "Our customers often have locations in different countries and continents. They have experienced the value of Peripass on their European sites and are now asking us to follow them across the globe."
