Its platform includes GPS tracking, fuel control, route planning, temperature monitoring, security, tachograph data management, digital vehicle inspections, asset tracking, IoT, video telematics, and other features.

Customers have tracked more than 30 billion kilometers using Mapon solutions. Currently, the company employs 180 people.

We’ll use the funds raised in the bond issue to make similar deals in the future. I’m certain that this opportunity will let us further strengthen our position in our current markets and invest in opening new branches in Europe,

Andris Dzudzilo, co-CEO of Mapon, comments.

• The bond issue was organized in cooperation with Latvian Signet Bank, legal advisor across the Baltics COBALT, and the Riga-based collateral agent Eversheds Sutherland Bitans.

The long-term bonds with principal repayment at the end of the term will enable the company to quickly react to potential acquisition opportunities. Mapon also aims to further fuel its expansion in Europe and maintain a 30% annual growth rate.
