Historically, ZET Solutions mainly focussed on companies in the Food-Agri sector but currently also actively markets its solutions towards companies in other sectors such as the construction, installation, transport and logistics sectors. The activities and services of ZET solutions and UnifiedPost show significant synergies and their integration will provide customers a larger range of solutions.
In order to support and manage UnifiedPosts’ growth ambitions, UnifiedPost significantly reinforced its management team with 2 experienced senior professionals: Tom Van Acker as General Manager and Nathalie De Ceulaer as CFO. In addition Duco Sickinghe, Managing Partner of Fortino Capital, will join the company’s Board of Directors.
