Focusing on strengthening and developing its exporting activities, CARDICO signed a commercial agreement with the German firm METRO GROUP for the distribution of its products. The duration of the collaboration is initially set at five years and regards the gradual placement of the entire range of CARDICO's products at the sales points of METRO GROUP in 22 countries where the company operates through CASH AND CARRY stores. Moreover, the company is in an advanced stage of negotiations with the retail stores of GROUP METRO (REAL, KAUFHOF, EXTRA etc.) for the distribution of its products to the German market. The above collaborations are expected to have significant benefits for CARDICO both in the medium-term, by increasing its turnover, and in the long-term, by strengthening the commercial presence of CARDICO Group outside Greece.
