He answered ZF’s questions for the new edition of the ‘Cei mai mari jucatori din economie’ (Key players in the economy) yearbook.

Vel Pitar, held by private equity firm Broadhurst in turn managed by New Century Holdings (NCH), sells various types of packaged and loose bread, as well as other bakery products.
