Founded nearly 30 years ago, Ervin Impex SRL (know through its Bani Market - retail stores) has built a strong reputation as a distributor of premium Hungarian food and beverage products in Romania. The company offers a wide range of high-quality local Romanian goods, and while it is not currently importing, it focuses on expanding access to Hungarian specialties such as paprika, artisanal sausages, sweets, jams, wines, condiments, and other regional delicacies.
The company also owns the private label Mia Mamma, under which it produces condiments, sauces, saltine crackers, and is currently developing a new homemade chocolate candy bar.
