Bio
Piotr Banasiak
I worked with Andreas as a subcontractor for assembly works in the field of mechanics and electrical installation for over 2 years. The level of our cooperation was based on the management of large projects and small services in the European Union. High work culture, agile management and work organization as well as the ability to adapt resources to the needs were the main features of Andreas' approach. Without forgetting the human factor, he is able to implement the given labor standards into practice. Working with Andreas has taught me to cooperate on the level of understanding the interests of all parties involved. Good luck Andreas! I keep my fingers crossed.
