Kiloutou strengthens in Spain

Kiloutou has strengthened its operations in Spain with the acquisition of Seralfe, based in Madrid.

Meanwhile, Jesús Martín Valladolid, co-founder of Seralfe, added, “We are delighted with the acquisition of Seralfe by the Kiloutou Group. The proposed project was an essential element in our decision to sell and we are confident that this merger will enable the company we have created to continue its successful development by providing additional resources and resources.”
