Sano - No. One Manufacturer of Feed Supplements For Livestock in Terms of Best Price/Quality Ratio in Croatia

    ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, March 09, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Best Buy Award Agriculture Survey 2014/2015 shows that those polled - Croatian agriculture professionals and experts - evaluated the Sano company as the winner, giving them the largest number of votes for best price/quality ratio in the category "manufacturer of feed supplements for livestock."

The Best Buy Award Agriculture Survey Croatia 2014/2015 was conducted by the Swiss organization ICERTIAS (www.icertias.com), which consulted a sample of 1,200 examinees (Croatian citizens, all agriculture professionals and experts).

With the innovative CAWI - DEEPMA method (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing - Deep Mind Awareness), the examinees in the survey were asked the following question by means of an Internet form:
"Specify the name of manufacturer of feed supplements for livestock that in your personal experience offers the best price-quality ratio in the Croatian market."

It was an open-type question; i.e., the examinees were not offered any answers. Rather, they could freely state the names of the producers that, according to their own personal experience, offered the best price/quality ratio in the Croatian market.

The largest number of examinees answered this question with "Sano."

Thanks to this exceptional success within the Croatian market, Sano is entitled to carry the prestigious designation of the Best Buy Award - No. 1 - best price/quality ratio within the category feed supplements for livestock.

"Sano is a large European brand for mineral feed, milk replacer, and specialties for modern animal nutrition. With an increase of over 20% per year, independent sister companies in more than 15 European countries, and five modern production sites, Sano sets the cornerstone of success in the field of agriculture: feeding animals in a healthy and profitable way. Sano's unique concept is the key to this success. Founded in 1976, it today employs more than 700 employees worldwide and strives for continuous expansion." - statement from the Sano company.
