Over the past two years, the company has completed six acquisitions, integrating 15 enterprises in the European and Chinese markets. Currently, the company's annual revenue is approximately 260 million euros (about $305 million), with over 1,400 employees globally, and its business services cover more than 50 countries and regions.

The company has set a development goal to achieve revenue exceeding €500 million (approximately $587 million) by 2028, and expanding into the North and South American markets is a key initiative to reach this target.
