The rollout of 5G and fiber optic networks gained solid momentum in 2022. That speed will only increase in the coming months and years. Circet, the leading telecom network service provider, and GRITT Projects are joining forces to respond to that exponential growth.

Bavo De Cock (CEO Circet Benelux): said, "As a pioneer in a fast growing market, we are continuously looking for capacity and diversification to expand our service portfolio. With the acquisition of GRITT Projects, we are ready to support our customers even better in the transition to 5G and the full end-to-end deployment of fiber networks. We already had that expertise in-house, but this expansion is crucial to fulfilling our customers' shared ambitions."
