Sweden-based ERP specialist Implema is taking the next step in its growth strategy. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company will open a new office in Raleigh, North Carolina, marking a key milestone in its strategy to expand with its customers.
Earlier this year, Implema acquired CoreChange’s SAP and BI operations, strengthening its position as Sweden’s leading implementation partner for SAP and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Establishing a U.S. presence is the next step in this journey – growing not only in Sweden but internationally, in line with the increasingly global needs of its customers.
Implema Strengthens Global Footprint
“Establishing a presence in the U.S. is a natural next step in Implema’s growth journey. As our customers’ operations become increasingly global, our role is to be there to support them — combining local presence with global expertise. The Research Triangle in North Carolina, where our new office is located, is a dynamic and fast-growing region. It also gives us the opportunity to be close to two of our key customers”
Jörgen Aronsson, CEO and Co-Founder of Implema
Tobias Simolin to Lead U.S. Expansion
Heading the launch of Implema’s U.S. operations is Tobias Simolin, Business Area Manager for Business Solutions in Stockholm. Simolin recently returned from a preparatory trip to the U.S., where he met with partners and began recruiting for the new organization.
“We have been working closely with our customers throughout their international expansions. Being able to now meet their needs directly in the U.S. makes us an even stronger partner. For us, it’s about building long-term relationships and ensuring we can deliver the same fast, cost-efficient, and value-driven solutions no matter where in the world our customers operate.”
– Tobias Simolin, CEO of Implema U.S
