ALSO Group opens new country company in Poland

The ALSO Group is further expanding its presence in Europe with the formation of ALSO Polska sp. z o.o. in Warsaw. ALSO has signed a contract to acquire the activities of the PC Factory-Group to develop the organization even more effective and efficient. In 2014, the company reported annual sales of approximately 400 million euros.

The PC Factory-Group with headquarters in Warsaw has been active in the distribution business since 2001 and provides comprehensive services for well-known vendors in the areas of warehousing, logistics and merchandising. Through the acquisition of the broad customer base and the existing vendor contracts ALSO expects to increase competitiveness and to gain an even more effective market cultivation. Completion of the purchase is subject to certain conditions, particularly approval by the responsible cartel authorities.

"With this addition, ALSO continues its expansion path within the framework of the MORE strategy. Because of its geographically favorable position, the Polish country company offers an ideal platform for representation in this dynamic and highly promising region. We see enormous growth potential in the markets we are targeting", says Gustavo Möller-Hergt, CEO of the ALSO Group.
