Oslo, Norway, February 16, 2021 – Orkla, the market leader in fast moving consumer goods in the Nordics, has paved the way for future growth initiatives by entering into a partnership with Master Data Management (MDM) company Stibo Systems.

We want to build upon our strong market position and stay ahead by offering our customers a seamless omni-channel experience.”

“Delivering data transparency through better product data is our core business when it comes to Master Data Management,” says Christian Oertzen, President EMEA and APAC of Stibo Systems. “Thus, launching products quicker and getting a wider choice of products online will only be two of the results for Orkla Care when having a professional MDM solution in place.
