“The financial results for 2021 at the consolidated level align with our estimates and reinforce our conviction that we are a group of companies with a healthy financial situation and a well-structured development strategy.

Looking at 2022, the market context is extremely complicated and challenging, especially regarding the recruitment of IT specialists, but also from a geopolitical perspective. Nevertheless, AROBS has managed to grow year after year in its 24 years of existence, despite some critical events. I am convinced that thanks to our colleagues and our diversified portfolio of services, solutions, and companies, we will be able to continue our growth in this critical period,” said Voicu Oprean, founder and CEO of AROBS.
