Stronger together under one brand
The merger, effective January 1, 2025, established a robust brand with offices in both Amsterdam and Eindhoven. While the DirectResearch name has been retired, the foundational core values – client-centricity, expertise, and flexibility – remain paramount within Markteffect.
