About us

The IT outsourcing team that works with you as if it were your own

Wirtek Management and Board of Directors

About us

We’re a Danish IT outsourcing company. Since 2001, we’ve partnered 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.

In April 2021, we acquired CoreBuild, a growth-oriented IT outsourcing company from Cluj, Romania. Our cultures are similar, and the way CoreBuild cares for its colleagues and clients aligns with our core values.

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