In Romania, Lande onboarded a new member of the legal and debt recovery team last month, with the aim of increasing efficiency in debt collection, strengthening the overall team, and speeding up work with new clients.
Lande also noted that “huge progress” has been made in Latvia’s debt collection department, where some machineries have now been sold.
“There are several signed notary agreements as well with the clients that won’t be restructured, making the debt collection process faster and easier,” added the Lande spokesperson.
“We are happy to see that more and more new clients have shown interest for working capital or machinery purchases while the season just has started.”
