TS Imagine expands presence in Montréal, Canada

TS Imagine has announced a new office in Montréal, Canada, to boost its North American operations and drive its international growth.

TS Imagine is part of this, we look forward to growing in the city and leveraging the strengths of its thriving business community and world-class talent.”
