The discussions were moderated by Mrs. Friederike Rissing, HR Director within Reckitt Benckiser Germany.

“I am delighted to be here on your very special jubilee. The no risk, no fun may have played a role when you, Mr. Stein, came to Romania right after the Revolution and founded your company a quarter of a century ago. Romania developed dramatically, and so has your company, not only locally, but also in the region”, stated His Excellency Mr. Cord Meier-Klodt, the Ambassador of Germany in Romania.

Also His Excellency Mr. Arthur Mattli, the Ambassador of Switzerland in Romania, declared: “I feel greatly honoured to take the floor at this special occasion in order to add my voice of congratulations to a consulting company which was built 25th years ago with a wish of what Eastern Europe could become and a mission to contribute to its development.”
