I have been working with Polygal for more than 30 years for the Italian food market. Polygal is a really serious company and I have had a fantastic collaboration with them during all these years. Me and my company grew up together with Polygal. I consider Polygal not as a supplier but as a partner/collaborator; some people in Polygal are even friends.
I’m very happy to work with Polygal for the last almost 4 years. Green started in 2018 already with partnership with Polygal. Products are high quality and innovative, and relationship is very open and clear. Still a lot of good things to do together with Polygal.
