January 04, 2019 at 3:30 pmwell in case a company with maximum 15 employees is a great deal and puts a lot
of value to a company nice to hear, but realistically i full doubt this.
A lot of top level management people have ever told me in terms of Seko Logistics that this is a marketing machine company and that most of the setups are

professional freight forwarders otherwise logically Seko logistics should have been
sold for years or?
