Benefit from our experience in Central & Eastern Europe
The Central & Eastern European countries have been a rapidly developing economic area in recent years. Whether you are an industrial supplier looking for new contracts or a consumer product manufacturer searching for new markets for instance, the CEE region is probably already on your list of target territories.

The countries of the region underwent a transition to western-style economies in the 1990s and began growing at a pace vastly exceeding the EU average. Accession of the 12 CEE countries to the EU in 2004 and 2007, and the removal of trade barriers with “old” EU countries, made the CEE region a definite hotspot of the global economy.

Growing employment, together with rising income and living standards, have fueled an expansion of consumer spending. This helped trigger the rapid development of both the wholesale and retail sectors in the 350 million population market and attracted multinationals and SMEs across a variety of other industries.

Nevertheless, newcomers might still face market challenges resulting from the diversity of cultures, languages, economic structures, and ways of doing business. Having a local professional to support your market entry or expansion in the CEE region is a key prerequisite.
