Radio Holland Signs Global Agreement

Before, these services were conducted by Cassens & Plath themselves, and forwarded to an appropriate service agent. Thanks to successful collaborations in the past these services, for Cassens & Plath compass types 11, 12 and 21, are now assigned to Radio Holland exclusively for all the related entities.
