We think on a long term and our vision regarding the development of a sustainable business also includes supporting the communities in which we operate, building bridges for the future, that's why we've brought all our CSR programs under the symbolic title Building Bridges.

We have valuable partnerships with educational institutions in Romania, that we support, in order to give young people training opportunities at the highest level", declared Dan Banacu, General Manager of the blockboard factory Holzindustrie Schweighofer Baco from Comăneşti.
