Bolttech makes official foray into Vietnam’s insurance market

GiNET has been renamed to bolttech

GiNET Vietnam Insurance Broker JSC has changed its name to bolttech Vietnam Insurance Broker JSC. This followed PCG’s latest investment into GiNet, which leads to the merger of GiNET into bolttech. The move marks bolttech’s deeper penetration into the market after its expansion into Vietnam’s potential device protection business last year.

GiNET has supported bolttech to expand its burgeoning business in Vietnam as well as bringing the group closer to its goal of building an insurance and protection ecosystem with the state-of-the-art technology.
