By completing the acquisition process, Golfzon Newdin also plans to invest aggressively not only in North American and Europe, but also in Asia. Opening golf academies for kids is also in the plan.
The company will seek more merger and acquisition opportunities with global companies in the future, to secure a new growth engine for the firm.
In April, Golfzon Newdin bought Deca System, manufacturer of the GolfBuddy GPS range finder.
