We’ve been active in Poland since the early 1990s, and are successfully working with more than 150 local customers”, said Michael Egger, the co-owner of the company. “We are also proud to contribute to local development in Warmia-Masuria region by offering almost 1,000 jobs during the construction and now, when operating.”
