We bring to AZMOL-BP our achievements and technologies, as well as 40 years of experience in the production and sale of oils in Britain and around the world. I believe that the products of the new line, which will be produced here on AZMOL-BP, will become popular both in the Ukrainian market and abroad, "said Terry Dicken.
