Our clients and our work speak for us
The collaboration with TFTAK has been very successful. They helped us in formulating the task and developed a full solution which has allowed us to considerably save both money and time. In addition, they helped us find extra possibilites for project funding. Highly recommended!

Center of Food and Fermentation Technologies has been our longstanding partner. The company is professional and innovative - they can always fulfil the task at hand according to the specifications, often exceeding our expectations. As an additional plus I would highlight their 'hands on' approach in implementation of new technologies !

I was just blown away how this place works. The enthusiasm there! They try to solve all the problems, no matter what it is or how bad the odds are. They seemed to be ready to fight that and I think that' s impressive. They would survive in any boundary conditions. When you go there and look them in the eye and see how they really fight for their survival - I really was impressed.
