"The company Benvig Heat Transfer originally focused on Eastern, especially Russian markets, as an investor we gradually managed to successfully establish it on the more demanding Western European markets, which, especially in connection with the war in Ukraine and the complete exit from the Russian market, we consider essential from the perspective of stability and further development of the company," says project director Oldřich Šoba for Jet Investment.
