Sonda emigranti, founded and leaded by Defrim Hoxhaj, started its operation in 1997 in Vlora, producing the first modern water well in the region with big diameter. After a long experience enriched by the geological diversity of the region, whith mountains and sea in a very short distance, but also by the multiple professional consulting services​ with the Italian associated companies, the next step to take was to increase the personnel and the capabilities of the company. In the 1999 and 2000 the high request of the construction industry represented the optimum condition to start applying new technologies and modern methods, which were still to discover in Albania. From that moment on, investments in any of the fields of special foundations in construction and infrastructure started. This enabled Sonda Emigranti to cooperate with many international and multinational companies, as well as with the local general contractors. All of the above mentioned steps were fountamental to confirm our company at a national level but not only.
