At Appsilon, we are committed to exploring and developing innovative solutions that can help protect our planet’s natural resources, and we will continue to work towards this goal. - Filip Stachura, CEO & Co-Founder</blockquote> For nearly 10 years we've provided high value to satisfied clients and used our skillset to improve our communities.
