Pieter Janssen, CEO, co-owner and founder of Prodrive Technologies, said, “I’m extremely proud of our USA team that has achieved such level of professionalism in such a short period of time. Although we cannot visit right now, we can feel the energy and vibe and we see the quality and dedication of your work.
