Of the 3 offers we had in the project\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/felder-gruppe.ro\/start-up-nation\/\">Start-Up Nation<\/a>, we chose to go with Felder Gruppe Romania for the quality and the best price in relation to the performance of the machines.

Both the quality of the machine itself, to be built with good materials, to be solid and reliable, and the quality that it gives me in production. Because it's no use having low prices if you don't offer quality. Secondly, easy maintenance and spare parts are easy to find. And third,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/felder-gruppe.ro\/echipa\/\">service<\/a> to be quick. So that if something happens, because there are situations like that, you don't waste a lot of time repairing it or, worse, you don't have to stop production and you don't even know for how long. Those are my criteria. That is why I work with Felder equipment and I am very satisfied.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;fw&quot;:&quot;bold&quot;}\">What is the secret of success?<\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span data-doc-id=\"4397000275212589\">Gabriel Cojoc:\u00a0<\/span>The secret to success is hard work.
