FTI is a reliable partner who knows our market very well as well as furniture and medium-sized production companies. I would particularly like to emphasize that FTI has extensive experience with German family-owned companies and therefore understands and continues the Dietsch medium-sized company culture. Our family and I are looking forward to working with FTI and Mr. Fuhrmann.”
