Niro wants to mark its 25th anniversary by celebrating in the spirit of a united Romania, first and foremost through Good Deeds – because a community retains its hope and strength, especially when there is involvement, action and tangible results. This is what we want to contribute actively and in the long term for those who need support. In order to see a real change, we believe it is important to continue our help beyond the holiday season. We want our good deeds and the support of our values to reach the right people at the right time, which also means a long-term commitment “, said Mr. Florin Suicescu.

Hand in hand, we make Romania good!
