We are pleased to announce that our group's international operations continue to expand. This April we have launched operations in our neighboring country, Portugal, with the creation of a new company for the group, OCA Global Portugal. After conducting a study of the Portuguese market, we made the strategic decision to strengthen our presence in the country with the implementation of a new subsidiary. As a result, OCA Global now has a direct presence in 15 countries around the world.
OCA Global is confident that our operations in Portugal will mark a new chapter in our growth in Europe. We are therefore starting operations with great enthusiasm, ambition and desire to work. We believe that Portugal offers great opportunities for our group.
