Following a successful outcome of the exclusive talks, a new group will be formed with headquarters in Zeebrugge, but also consisting of a large number of offices all over Europe. Together ECS and 2XL will employ over 1.000 people of which half in the Benelux. As long as the discussions are ongoing, both parties refrain from any further comment.
