“From April of 2020, we put in place 5 strategic plans in different areas, completely revamped our business methods, reworked our logistics. We have also implemented a strategic development plan in E-business, which has turned out to be a very smart move. Moreover, we have anticipated many M&A projects to strengthen the company’s advantages. All above actions will lead ICAPE Group into the next phase of growth. We see the future with growth of around 30% per year for the next 5 years, thanks to our effective action plan toward facing the global crisis.”
