his delight with achievements of the Company including the increase in sales:
“We have put a lot of effort in order to maintain the fast growth in sales, and
we are glad because we were successful in increasing our number of clients, and
extending the range produced. We also implemented effective marketing campaigns
in key markets, ensured we increased our capacity when needed, as well as
ensuring the efficient operation  of our Supply Division. The smooth and
effective operation of the company has therefore enabled the excellent results
we are able to present”. 

 Now we are planning not only to increase sales during the third quarter, but
also present to the customers some new products, including a 163 cm freezer, as
well as the hottest product this year which is a fridge-freezer with -with a No
