“If I had to sum up in two words how we managed to keep the company going for over three decades, I’d probably say it was mainly due to courage and creativity. For us, every new task was a challenge, and problems never stopped us – rather, they pushed us forward. The phrase ‘it can’t be done’ simply didn’t exist.
