It expanded to a dedicated warehouse establishment with an area of 1,000 square metres in 2002, which later served Africa and CIS countries in 2003. Building on core competitiveness and quality service, the company grew bigger and currently employs 31 associates.

The company aims to grow even further to retain its market leadership.
