Media5 celebrates 30 years in the market
In recent years, Argentina's economic and political situation has generated significant challenges for technology development, forcing companies to be creative in order to move forward.
Moisés Martini explained that "Economic problems and restrictions always affect all activities, especially ours, that the components we use are not manufactured in Argentina, in addition many of them are not in regular use so we have to import them directly for our equipment. Thanks to having stock of critical components and trust from our suppliers, we have been able to meet our obligations."
On the economic measures announced by the government that took office in December 2023, he stressed that "It is not easy to solve all the problems in such a short time and also with Cepo. We are hopeful that this will be resolved as soon as possible. In general terms, we try to continue with our stock policy and in this way not transfer to the customer the problems generated by the current economic measures".
Despite all the problems of 2024, the balance of the year for Media5 is positive, thanks to the fact that they have been able to make progress in all the plans they had for this year.
