Kardan Communications Ltd. and Tikshoovim Business Communications Center Ltd. have set up a joint venture, Tikshoov Romania and Cell Center in Bucharest at an investment of $1.5 million. The joint venture plans to expand to Bulgaria or Ukraine, or both. The venture is based on outsourcing telephone services for companies with many customers. The first customer will be DTH Romania, a satellite services company owned by Freddi Robinson and Dori Dankner. Tikshoov Romania has 100 stations, which the company expects to increase.
Kardan Communications CEO Amit Ben-Yehuda said, “We’ve begun with an Israeli-owned company, because it’s easier to set up ties, but it won’t end there. I hope that by the end of the year, we’ll have at least one customer in Romania.”
