Columbus is strengthening its position in the food and beverage industry through the divisional acquisition of the Norwegian consultancy firm Accigo AS. This acquisition marks a significant strategic move to expand Columbus’s presence in the food and beverage sector and enhance its capacity to deliver Microsoft Dynamics 365 solutions. With this deal, Columbus further reinforces its status as the leading Dynamics 365 provider in Norway.

Over many years, Accigo has established a strong presence in the Norwegian food and beverage industry, serving clients with stringent requirements for traceability, quality, and efficient logistics. As Accigo AS becomes part of Columbus, both customers and employees will benefit from access to a larger professional environment, an expanded service portfolio, and a more robust delivery organisation.
