"The municipalities and government market sectors are already a core customer segment for Blom. We have worked for many years to position ourselves within the municipality and government markets to provide geographic services. This agreement is of great importance to us and we see it as confirmation of our experience and knowledge. It also helps us to further develop our services to municipalities, especially with the use of the latest technology developments in airborne sensors." Hans Strandberg, Sales Manager Blom Sweden
