Interview with Mrs. Mariana Sână, General Manager of MTC ROMANIA
Reporter: Mrs. Mariana Sână, we know who MTC ROMANIA is and what the key to success on the Romanian market is, but what is it like after 10 years?
Mariana Sână: MTC ROMANIA is and remains the same company that promotes and sells ingredients, packaging and equipment to producers in the food industry. When I say the same, I'm not kidding at all: we are the company that has a policy and a culture that all employees respect, regardless of their position in the system.
Rep: Do you think that it is different for the competition?
M.S.: I would not like to comment on the competition, on the contrary I am convinced that only on a free, competitive market can we measure our strength and success to its true value. What I don't understand is the attitude of former MTC employees, who work today for competitors or in the companies of some suppliers. Maybe they don’t encounter the same values in their new jobs. We are still finding out that they are telling lies about MTC to our customers. They didn't learn these things in our company.
Rep: After all, people are free to go and work where they think it is better for them, don't you think?
M.S: Of course I do, but the quality of people is the essence of life; I still believe that the employees are firstly responsible for the success of MTC ROMANIA, then the products, the market circumstances, and then I understand this too - what else could our former employees be doing, other than what they had very well learned to do in our company? In fact, I know that you can't change anyone, only yourself — and if you succeed — then you bring the desired change around you.
Rep: We joined NATO, 2007 is approaching and so is the accession to the European Union. How do you prepare for that?
M.S .: I wholeheartedly believe that we will succeed. I can believe that we are not prepared enough, that it will be difficult for us in Romania, I think it will be difficult for EU to have us, but in the end I am convinced that we will all do better and that we deserve the opportunity to create a better life.
We were only present in the milk processing fields until now, but now we are preparing to help in the milk collection and hygiene fields.
We get ready for the changes that will take place through greater flexibility, we strengthen and develop mainly the relationships with some traditional suppliers, we open new opportunities for collaboration in order to meet our customers’ requirements in the best possible way.
We are just as busy and concerned as before, we are waiting for recertification according to ISO 9001/2001, we are preparing for the meeting with our clients and partners at the MTC seminar and our slogan remains the same:
Choose the taste chosen by nature.
