VLORA They are approaching the 30th anniversary of the cooperative's founding with clear results in the economy and organization.

From this spirit of work, useful conclusions have been drawn and measures taken to progress better in the months remaining until the end of the year.

The chromium-extracting industry, the famous Albanian mineral, has been developing for millennia. Archaeological and historical data show that the first blocks of chromium were processed in our lands a long time ago. This natural wealth has played an important role in the country's economic development. At the same time, the non-metallic industry has expanded into several areas and is moving forward side by side with chromium.
