Matthew Heskin, CEO and Co-Founder of Ektimo, said, "This partnership marks a pivotal moment for Ektimo. PEMBA’s investment will allow us to scale our capabilities, broaden our service offerings, and continue delivering industry-leading environmental solutions nationwide. We greatly appreciate K&L Gates’ guidance and support in navigating this transformative step for our development.”
