SUCCESS STORIES
For several years, CK Group has partnered with a leading multinational organisation renowned for its expertise in paints, coatings, and specialty materials.
Most recently, our collaboration has focused on supporting the company’s aerospace division, where we’ve helped build and scale technical teams across Research & Development (R&D), Quality Control (QC), Engineering, and Maintenance.
