The distribution network developed by the company spans the territory of 9 counties in Romania and is served by a team of 31 employees and a fleet of 22 vehicles purchased in 2021, at which time the company decided to renew the car fleet.

- Participation in tender and public purchases through the company's internal department
The main category of products that the company distributes are: materials for electrical and sanitary installations, hand and electrical tools, foams, silicones, chemicals, hardware, household products, HoReCa equipment.

The cooperation will be based on a commercial agreement.
