Cura Consulting sold to Relacom

Press release from Relacom:

Relacom Norway buys Cura Consulting – strengthens product portfolio by adding consulting services
Relacom Norway has purchased Cura Consulting with its 230 employees in Norway and Indonesia. The experience Cura has garnered working on a number of large international projects, combined with Relacom’s global presence, will broaden and improve the range of services Relacom can offer to operators and network owners.

Founded in 2000, Cura provides consulting services related to mobile and fixed networks and has unique specialist competencies in such areas as site acquisition, radio and training. Combined with Relacom’s global presence and experience, Cura’s competencies mean that Relacom is now able to offer customers comprehensive solutions related to network planning and construction, operation and maintenance. Cura’s establishment in Indonesia allows for this concept to be offered on a broad scale, with Relacom operating in Indonesia and an additional 16 other countries.

”The merger with Relacom means we are able to make wider use of our unique competencies across a number of markets”, relates Cura CEO Lasse Bjørgan.

Currently employing 2,500 staff, the acquisition will allow Relacom Norway to offer a broader range of services to both existing and prospective customers.

”At present we’re very strong in the fields of network installation and maintenance. This deal and Cura’s expertise mean we will now be able to offer our customers comprehensive and cost-effective solutions for all their networking needs”, explains Stein Martinsen, Head of the Nordic Region at Relacom.
