COMPOSITE WAY TO WIN THE MARKET
We suppose that primarily distribution business is the business of proper and mutually
profitable relationships that connected Supplier and Distributor, Distributor and Retailer,
Distributor and Brand, Brand and Consumers.
We believe that we know how to build and develop these relationships and how to manage
the balance of common interests leading to long lasting cooperation.
The key object of out attention is His majesty Brand because we consider the Brand as the
most valuable business asset.
Doing business, we set up the highest priority for all things related to Brand issues.
We serve our Partners with the objective of creating benefits.
Being in distribution business for many years, we think that the best values that
Distribution Company could create are delivery of services done more effectively than
Principal itself could do it.
That is why we welcome Partners trust us to be “Your sales and marketing
department in Latvia”.
At a first sight, the distribution business looks as very simple and ordinary.
However, our people try to think and do the things in a bit different way than others.
All above are what we called as a “COMPOSITE WAY TO WIN THE MARKET”.
