While the global economy has suffered from the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, ICAPE Group relies on its business model perfectly suited to confront and overcome the situation. Mr. Thierry Ballenghien, founder and chairman of the group, explains how ICAPE Group has come through this period with excellent results, and how the future looks as he expects a significant growth in the upcoming years:
“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.”
