Rotterdam provides SIA with a stable, rewarding and internationally oriented business climate. The second city of the Netherlands is an excellent choice, and is the ideal entry point for the European markets.
The Netherlands: an internationally oriented country
The Netherlands is a very internationally oriented country. People from all over the world live and work here. Rotterdam is home to over 170 nationalities and over 30,000 expats, giving the city a very global and cosmopolitan personality.

SIA are happy to give back to the local community by supporting the Tidy Towns Committee. There has been a Tidy Town group in Carn almost for over fifty years ago. The current group was formed in 1998 when a handful of interested individuals met in and set up the Carndonagh Tidy Town Association. Clean-ups were organised and carried out on a regular basis. Much good work was done.
Besides the cost savings – a flexi fits in 32,000 bottle equivalents compared with the 9,000 a container full of pallets carries Bulk shipping is being adopted for its eco-friendliness.
