“The cooperation with Bernd Kosnar is characterised by two terms: Professionalism and success. Bernd offers real added value instead of empty talk. He is a salesman with experience who not only talks the talk, but also puts it into practice and delivers results. There are at most a handful of business partners who I hold in similarly high esteem as him.”
