According to him, the company, which is an electro-mechanical engineering firm, is in collaboration with its parent company to manufacture products which meet the needs of customers.

“Our products are compliant with the highest European quality levels and we are not going to compromise this value, as our engineering and testing department is directly controlled by the headquarters in Italy,” he remarked.
