Welcome to the WIND Group, Tricore! WIND is continuously strengthening our lifecycle service capabilities and making life easier for our clients. This investment in Tricore responds directly to a growing demand from our clients for more integrated solutions through a single partner.
By adding Tricore’s expertise to the Group, we further enhance our ability to keep cable on the move - supporting cable suppliers, installation contractors, developers and TSOs with one seamless service offering.
Tricore’s hands-on mentality and entrepreneurial spirit are a perfect fit with the culture of WIND, and I am very much looking forward to working together with the team.
