MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
IF THERE WERE A WORD TO DEFINE OUR APPROACH TO OUR CLIENTS, SUPPLIERS, PARTNERS AND EMPLOYEES, THE WORD WE WOULD CHOOSE WOULD BE COMMITMENT.
We want to continue to grow, to develop new markets, to find the the best suppliers and those who can guarantee us the best quality, as well as to remunerate all those who work with us fairly. We understand that non-conformity is the best feature to face the challenges, so, right from the beginning, we have tried to differentiate ourselves by the service and products we provide.
We believe that companies are mainly people and their dynamics and, therefore, we want our partners to permanently feel that attitude and our presence. The World and Europe, in particular, are experiencing special moments. It is from here, where Frijobel's headquarters are located, in Penela, that we want to act from a global perspective.
We work in a dedicated manner, every day, to prove that we are worthy of all our customers’ trust, and to win with competence and ethics all those who try to add more value to their business.
That's what we are here for!
