Under the new company, growth took off rapidly with portfolio additions such as spirits, sake, beverages, cigars, shisha, glassware and accessories. We are leaders in the field of wine, bar & beer education and consulting — and this has been our strength alongside our advanced support structures and tailor-made service solutions.
