I am glad to welcome the 300+ new colleagues into our team," commented Priit Alamäe, CEO and founder of Nortal.

Nortal introduced pwrteams and launched the new business model of outsourcing and team augmentation to the company's portfolio in 2022 following the acquisition of Skelia. pwrteams works with customers in Europe and North America, such as TUI and Thomas Cook Group. The company's service centers are located in Ukraine, Poland, Serbia, Lithuania, Estonia, Mexico, and following the acquisition of Questers also in Bulgaria.

"Access to great talent underpins pwrteams' growth plans, and this latest acquisition marks the first step in our expansion journey.

Together, we aim to become the international leader in building cross-border dedicated IT and engineering organizations to extend our customers' businesses with speed, efficiency and scalability," said Karel Saurwalt, CEO of pwrteams.
