This decision made possible the continuity of the business throughout the entire year and offered the two young entrepreneurs a great platform to experiment on.<\/p>\n<p>Being a student, without any clear experience in a field of activity, they had to choose a business idea that would not pose big problems so that their experience could evolve along with the business itself. The corn puffs seemed to be a simple product to make, and so they bought an extruder from a Romanian food machine manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>In time, however, they&#8217;ve discovered that making corn puffs is an &#8230; art. And they\u2019ve mastered this art, managing to bring Gusto Pufuleti to millions of consumers, in more than 30 countries.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12919&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1536573767552{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562068051931{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<section class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-above view-mode-full\">\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item even\">\n<p><strong>Gusto<\/strong> is the corn puffs brand produced in Baicoi industrial unit, one of the largest plants in Europe, with over 1,000,000 corn puffs bags produced per day.
