THE PRESIDENT, GENERAL MANAGER'S MESSAGE



Our company has just acceded to autonomy. This successful step, before the board of ministers, has allowed us to take a few decisions that will enhance the company up to date.

Its working capital, fixed at 02 billion dinars, is a guarantee of solvency that its employees will keep on reinforcing. This is the reflex in all the companies, particularly during the recession of the works & services market.

Every body, specially our clients, must know that what is exceptional in our company is that the company has never benefited from any government aid. For over 10 years, it has always relied on its own resources.

The free market is a philosophy well understood by the company and part of its culture defined as: " Standing jealously for the interests our customers ".

Today, the evolution of the national economy offers more of auspicious flexibility to give it other perspectives to the satisfaction of its shareholders.

The President general manager
Abdelhamid ZERGUINE
