It enables entry into larger projects and broadens the addressable market, particularly in high-volume, high-density storage environments. The execution of the Mlog strategy will expand capability further, allowing the business to deliver more complex and integrated intralogistics solutions. This is expected to increase market coverage and improve the company's ability to secure larger, long-term contracts.
