PAYMENT
AND FINANCIAL DATA
PAYMENT EXPERIENCES:
Legal actions: Information only
available against proof of interest.
There are no complaints about the mode of payment and business conduct.
Since the company conducts practically all of its business activities

regards the local business and payment conduct.
For large-scale financial transactions the company should therefore be
capable of providing appropriate proof of financial substance or sureties.

situation to third parties.
