The liquidation created $5 million in profits for the organization, which bought into Liquid for $50 million about one year ago. During the decision-making process, executives noted that the asset was no longer core to the company, especially after the reorganization. Profits from the deal are earmarked for Altron's net debt position, according to a company statement to shareholders. At the time of purchase, the company said Liquid would boost Altron's service footprint in Africa by creating the largest fiber to the tower network in the area. Venter said the selling of this stock does not signal an end to expansion in the region. Instead, the business will utilize an organic strategy for both Altech and Bytes to follow clients into the continent.
