Thanks to “Iteca” for organizing the event and giving us the opportunity to exhibit and meet with our potential customers and with those, who we have already been doing business with. Our equipment is innovative technologies, the main area is enrichment. Due to the fact that the field of application is rather conservative, the technologies are introduced a little longer than in other industries. We try, and the exhibitions help us in doing this.
