„Being the market leader for tow bars, we focus on profitable growth. This corporate goal calls for a strong performance. Leading the way and providing the best service and experience at the same time when it comes to developing our innovations, manufacturing and selling our products or granting the use of our licenses. This is how we will become even more efficient and successful in the coming years.“
