"Surge is a fantastic company, a typical Teqnion one, run by even more fantastic people. The demand for their products in the UK is surging and the company is well-positioned to ride the wave. We couldn't be happier to welcome the Johnson family plus team to our family." says Johan Steene, CEO of Teqnion.
