General Costs

We have been using the BCM (Business Cost Management) method in Portugal since 1997. BCM is one of the most important international cost-reduction consulting firms and operates in the rest of Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia.
If no savings are obtained, there will be no cost for the Customer.
