Geist, a technology provider for data center critical infrastructure, announced the opening of the Geist Europe branch.
In July 2010, Geist purchased a 50% stake in UK-based Data and Power Solutions, which will now be Geist Europe.
The new branch provides the company’s international clients with additional support and services. In addition, the company is now able to extend their product set to international clients while improving customer relations globally.
The European office is now open for business. And with the addition of Geist Europe, Geist continues to build on their recent period of substantial and successful growth. BD+C
