| SAGE & ALBANIA |
 |
Kutas started its purchasing operation of Sage from Albania in 1994 with 100 tons. Today our annual purchase is between 700 – 900 tons. Our interest in Albania was to purchase the best possible quality for the most reasonable price. However our experience shows us that we will have difficilties to find suppliers who can satisfy our requirements.
For this reason, after 2001 we started looking for some options in Albania.
In 2005 we decided to establish a company which will:
• be the collection center of the raw materials
• facilitate a simple pre cleaning line
As a result of this we would have better and relatively stable QUALITY and PRICE.
We would have more control over the material.
