Giulia Passalacqua, BioOrto marketing manager, says: "2011 campaign was a busy year but it has also brought some rewards to our company, which has been committed in safeguarding and quality assurance of organic products for years."
"Not only our existing clients have renewed confidence, but we have also opened new markets thanks to the impeccable management of the entire chain, from production to packaging and quality of final product."
