Wirtek leadership team

About us

We’re a Danish IT outsourcing company. Since 2001, we’ve been teaming up with companies to help them create great software solutions and electronic equipment products.

Several clients have been with us for 10+ years, so we can confidently say that in outsourcing, the quality of the relationship matters just as much as the quality of the delivered software. With us, people come first and we’re happy to have a team of great minds, with their hearts in the right place. And this changes everything, from the quality of the service to the involvement and attention we give to our client's business.


Our clients get top-notch technical solutions and a committed team that works with them as if it were their own.

CoreBuild, a Wirtek company

In April 2021, we acquired CoreBuild, a growth-oriented IT-outsourcing company from Cluj in Romania. Our cultures are similar, and the way CoreBuild cares for its colleagues and clients aligns with our core values. We are excited to grow our team, expand our business towards new markets and continue building strong relationships with our clients together.
