The current economical situation has been the perfect test for company’s development and relaunch strategy we began last year and now we have the proof that the strategic steps we made were the correct ones. Sales increase and the obvious interest in the new launched products are a sign that Romanian customers appreciate local products and place them on their top of list. We will continue to invest in research programs in order to find innovative and efficient ingredients to create new products. As a result of the constant expansion of our distribution system, the increase of our market share and diversifying our product portfolio, we plan to make new investments in the automation of the production processes and in enlarging the storage space.
