The Crosby Group has announced the formation of its Technology Solutions business unit, including BlokCorp, Crosby Straightpoint and the strategic collaboration with Verton. The new unit broadens The Crosby Group's portfolio of products and solutions that delivers safety and productivity to every jobsite.
