“I’m delighted to add MESTEC to the group. The team has designed and brought an impressive SaaS based, multi-tenant solution in the cloud to the market. We are investing heavily in the MESTEC business with additional development, delivery, sales and marketing resources. Moreover, these investments will help MESTEC grow and expand in key industries such as CPG, Medical Devices, and Aerospace and Defense. Our focus for the business will be an expansion into the Americas and continued growth in the UK and EU.” said, Jason Adams, CEO of Eyelit.
