Company Information/eCommerce

Karlsruhe (euro adhoc) - Karlsruhe, 12 March 2013 - asknet AG, a
leading provider of international e-commerce solutions for digital
products and e-procurement portals in the research and training

seal by the Federal association of SME IT service providers (BITMi)

sector's high quality standards.

well-engineered production processes, innovation, and competent
