Description

The Italian company Maritan will relocate parts of its production from Romania and Moldavia back to Italy due to the customer demand increase. According to Katia Maritan - daughter of the company founder - reshoring is a response to a niche market where customer care more about quality and made-in Italy effect, rather than price. The company previously offshored to Eastern Europe because of the production costs.
