CEO comments
HRL CEO Steven Dabelstein commented that “We are very excited to welcome the OCTFOLIO team into the HRL Group. OCTFOLIO is a versatile and adaptive application that provides asset owners the control and insight to their portfolio which is currently lacking from traditional paper based systems.”
“The OCTFOLIO suite enables HRL businesses to position themselves as offering industry best practice solutions to our clients with larger asset portfolios – the key target market segment for our compliance activities.”
“Having a technology product that is cashflow positive, profitable and scalable fits within our strategy to invest in niche market segments of environmental technical services. Future HRL services or laboratory based acquisitions benefit from access to both the OCTFOLIO platform and the customer base”.
