STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Box (NYSE:BOX) today announced that it is opening an office in Stockholm, Sweden to expand its EMEA presence. The announcement of the Swedish office comes just two weeks after the opening of an office in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The office, which officially opens today, will serve new and existing customers throughout the Nordic region. Swedish companies such as Spotify have already deployed Box’s content management and collaboration platform. Spotify selected Box to enable employees across numerous departments to quickly create and edit documents, manage them from a central location, and securely share and collaborate from anywhere.

“We continue to expand our operations across Europe, and we’re delighted to be opening an office in Stockholm two weeks after launching in Amsterdam,” said David Quantrell, SVP and GM of EMEA at Box. “We also recently hired Peter Dalhuisen, an experienced enterprise software executive, to lead our strategic efforts in the region.”

“Having a physical presence in Sweden enables us to operate in the Nordic region more effectively and serve our customers more efficiently,” said Peter Dalhuisen, VP of Northern Europe and DACH. “The opening of this office is the latest example of Box’s impressive expansion and customer traction throughout Europe in the past 12 months. ”

Before joining Box, Dalhuisen spent four years at Perceptive Software, a division of Lexmark, where he most recently served as Regional Director of EMEA. Previously, Dalhuisen was a Director at Documentum/EMC for seven years and the MD of Northern Europe at Matrixone for four years. He’ll lead Box’s expansion in Northern Europe from the company’s Amsterdam office.

Box serves customers across all major industries, including financial services, healthcare, construction, life sciences, media and entertainment, retail and non-profit. Box has over 40 million users and 50,000 organisations today, including Swedish companies like SKF and Spotify as well as global companies like AstraZeneca, LinkedIn, General Electric, Procter & Gamble among others.
