Pristina is not only the hometown of two pop stars, since that is precisely where Rita Ora was born and Dua Lipa grew up. It is also an increasingly dynamic and thriving hub of economic growth.

The CEO brings together 180 member companies with combined annual sales of – give or take – 4 billion euros. And we have been a part of this elite group since July.

Honestly? It’s no surprise to us at all, because we have always believed in the Vietnamese team’s success since their very spontaneous beginnings. Today, our colleagues can boast not only their own pennant, but also another trophy.

As the construction season has reached its full swing, we have expanded our range of solutions dedicated to facade thermal insulation materials with the R-TFIX-8M fixings featuring metal hammer-in pins in new length variants: 95 mm and 115 mm.

Our electric car has already been recharging batteries there. But this is just the beginning, since the equipment installed in Kwidzyńska street will also serve our visitors, customers, and employees.

The purchase of power tools for professional use is usually an investment for long years, which is why no choice on this matter should be made at random. What matters in this respect is not only the purpose of a given machine, but also its design and the quality of individual components.

Preparing a hole in the right way is one of the most important steps preceding chemical anchoring.

Not every building needs to be 100 storeys tall to be admirable, nor must it be made of steel to command respect. This is especially the case when respect and admiration are due to the people that work inside.

As surely befits a company operating in the construction industry, we have taken care of the local mason bees, commonly recognised as flying wall construction specialists.
