Independent, dedicated and agile quality wholesale, sales & promotion services for your FMCG products throughout Europe
Small and medium-sized tobacco companies as well as the vaping industry struggle to find reliable and independent distribution & promotion partners.
Profitability is plummeting for those companies who still operate with their own sales teams due to increased complexity and cost, tax increases, restrictive legislation and declining volumes
Companies which traditionally provided these services are refocusing their activities and have exclusive agreements preventing them to promote any competing or third party’s products.
Newcomers in the European retail market miss the knowledge to penetrate these difficult to penetrate and well controlled distribution channels.
Reduced overheads and proven IT & CRM systems enable us to reliably & efficiently deliver our tailor-made services.
What we do :
Due to ever more complex and restrictive legislation many medium-sized companies are not able to find adequate distribution partners in Europe. Either they have to set up an own sales force, go to their biggest competitor or go to a third-party provider lacking both specific tobacco industry knowhow and its particular distribution channels. Moreover, even bigger players which are entering new product segments very often lack adequately trained people to support their fast-paced product launches.
