Scala, a flavoured ingredient to ORKLA Foods
Deploying its activities in Romania was not an easy job to do. There are specific accounting reglementations and specific legislative requirements to fulfill.
Besides all of these, ORKLA’s activity itself is a very complex one and needed a complex and reliable solution to sustain it.
ORKLA, one of the largest listed companies is Norway, made its first major investment in Romania, turning food market leader Topway Foods International even more competitive.
“For a company which begins its operations on a new market it is very important to have a reliable partner to sustain it,” according to DI. Werner Jeitler, regional IT coordinator for ORKLA Foods International. “Epicor Scala is such a partner and we are delighted to have established such a strong and lasting collaboration.”
From the company point of view, Epicor Scala proved to be a professional and client-oriented partner. “They were able to provide us with important references as well as with a constant track of successful projects.”
The competitive advantage that convinced ORKLA was the quality of Epicor Scala’s consultancy services and the experience they have in similar projects.
The Epicor Scala consultancy team in Romania is made of experienced professionals with a high level of theoretical knowledge as well as relevant experience in approaching and solving specific problems.
