DE SOTO – Your Partner in International Business
Founded in Warsaw in 1988, DE SOTO has focused on fostering commercial partnerships between Poland and Italy. Initially, we specialized in establishing business contacts for companies in both countries. Over time, we built a reputation as a reliable intermediary in the automotive, food, and industrial sectors.
