Being a company that does business whilst maintaining links to the local area is an added value, our own special quality that we can offer to public entities.” “We can offer very competitive prices, combining our customers' need to save with our own growth prospects," added Nicola Moschillo, General Manager of Estra Energie. "Targeted growth objectives and a solid structure have been the foundation of our industrial policy for years”.
