  their proud and hospitality I got all over. Just fantastic. My story; I would be proud to

  Concentra Grafics bought in the year 2000, one of the biggest offset Rotative printing presses

  institutions and organisations, and a lot more.
  This was a lifetime experience that brought me the basis of all knowledge I can use in my
  functional situation in today's business in combination with the studies I made. Synergy
  between theory and practice.
  After 7 years (1997) we became one of the biggest retailers in sportswear in the Benelux.
