HTC SWEDEN Global expansion driven by considerable R&D investments HTC Sweden has experienced a rapid growth and global expansion as a result of significant investments in the company itself as a growth platform as well as sales excellence initiatives. An important part of the business plan has been the development and commercialization of the revolutionizing product platform DURATIQ™ launched in September 2016. This project was the largest ever R&D project in the company’s history and a game-changer in the industry.
