“An important and courageous decision was taken after the extremely challenging period we all endured as we were first impacted by the effects of the global pandemic and then by unprecedented price increases of raw materials. This coupled with political instability deeply affected all of us”, said Andrea Marcantonini, CEO of MCT Italy.
Despite all these challenges the company has realized growth and success in terms of Productivity, Export and International presence.
