I want to thank you for our entire collaboration – from the Arad agency up to the top management in Bucharest – for all your availability and the rapid adjustment to our needs. I have met many bankers in my life but your strong point was that you did not look only into numbers, business figures, but you have also wanted to look beyond desks. You have been in our factory and you have seen our equipment production process, you have been with us in the field when testing time arrived. The simple balance sheet will never express that human emotions”, said recently Mirco Maschio, President of Maschio-Gaspardo Group to EximBank employees during a common event.
