Founders Michiel Jellema and Arnold Steinfort: "The successful sale has given Infofolio a new home within a group of complementary companies. It enables Infofolio to fully exploit its leading position in the insurance market while at the same time guaranteeing continuity of service to customers. Moreover, Infofolio can seize new growth opportunities in enriching data and models as well as in exploring new market segments.
