Pascal Rialland, Deputy CEO of BALYO concludes: « Our partners' order commitments considerably strengthen our organic growth pipeline, enabling us to enter 2020 with confidence. This confirms the interest of our solutions, whose speed of deployment has been increased in recent months. We would like to thank our historical industrial partners for their trust and remain focused on continuing our development in 2020 as part of our new commercial strategy, which will be detailed at the beginning of the year ».
