Alex Borger, CEO, Mojo Barriers commented: “We will continue to strengthen our market position as part of the EVAGO Group. The event infra-structure market is growing and is full of opportunities so I am confident future investments will allow our research and development department to continue to develop our product range to take advantages of those opportunities. Our customers and employees will benefit from the fact that Mojo Barriers is now part of a larger group of companies.”

Mojo’s main office locations in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, USA and Australia along with distributors in 20 other countries will continue to offer its global customers the same Mojo Barriers’ products.
