GOVCREST INTERNATIONAL, since its establishment, in 1991, was conceived as a foreign trade company meant to promote the products of its shareholders, mainly of the biggest Romanian producer of Soda Ash, U.S.Govora S.A. We have been developing our activities throughout the world to a diverse range of goods, for imports and exports as well, which has allowed GOVCREST to become a global company. During its existence, GOVCREST has been growing year after year, thus becoming one of the strongest Romanian exporters of inorganic chemicals, particularly through its excellent business relations both with producers and with customers. The range of GOVCREST INTERNATIONAL export products includes among other products: soda ash -- light and dense; caustic soda -- liquid, solid and flakes; sodium silicate-- solid and solution; sodium and potassium dichromate; calcium carbide; barium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate food grade. As far as imports are concerned, the company provides for the end-users metallurgical coke, cooking coal, other raw materials, packages, natural gas, equipment and spare parts for the chemical industry. GOVCREST is a young, dynamic and innovative company, well aware that to be ambitious for ourselves means to be ambitious for our customers with each contract we embark upon. Furthermore, GOVCREST has a determination to take responsibility for the service we provide for our clients, and an unrivalled understanding of the changing patterns of trade, licensing, logistics and legal requirements. We ascribe our success to a hands-on management style coupled with a very well-trained staff able to join in the local conditions, markets and cultures, assuring the best comprehension possible.
