“We prepared and carried out this project very carefully, - says Aleksei Kolegov, Commercial Director at ALIDI Group. - On the one hand, the Government strengthened its control over operations with alcohol. Thereby we had to change our infrastructure to minimize the risks. On the other hand, it’s a great honor for us to be a supplier of Х5 Retail Group in such an important category with such fine-turnover brands. We are ready to do our best to provide our partners with the necessary quality of services”.
