"We are driven by a development-oriented mindset, where preparedness and
scalability remain daily priorities as we gear up for continued growth. Also
this quarter, we identified improvement opportunities - both within our own
organization and in collaboration with key partners across the value chains in
which we operate. The experience we carry forward strengthens our ability to
scale and allows us to raise our ambitions further. With strong demand,
dedicated teams and a growth-oriented mindset, NORBIT is equipped to Explore
