Trévo Sets Sights On European Expansion
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
It is no secret that Trévo LLC doesn’t shy away from aggressive expansion, as most recently evidenced by news that the company has its sights on the European Union. Despite having just started in 2010, Trévo is already operating in 15 countries and showing no signs of slowing down.
“We are thrilled about the prospect of extending Trévo’s reach into Europe,” Trévo CEO Mark Stevens said. “We have proven over the last four years that ours is a brand that is capable of explosive growth, and we are always looking for good opportunities for expansion.”
