The agreement represents a total contract value of approximately NOK 650 million and runs for a period of eight years (option to extend for additional two years). This is an important step for EVRY in the Finnish market as well as in relation to its strategy of continuing to grow its presence in the Nordic and international markets.

With the new agreement, EVRY meets Handelsbanken’s need for simplification and reliability for its deliveries, while EVRY will also satisfy the bank’s quality and compliance requirements.
