improve services to our many clients with operations in EMEA. This also protects our clients
and us from any potential consequences of Brexit, if and when it happens.” Jo-an Lantz, president and CEO of Geiger, added: “Clients are demanding global services for their merchandising programs, with local marketing support. The ability to provide a global supply chain is critical, and the new Rotterdam location supports our international strategy.”
