This is the third year of growth in a row for Macromex, and the company budgeted higher revenue this year, again. Macromex said it expected RON640 million revenue in 2017, slightly higher than in 2016. Macromex distributes brands of its own – Corso and La Strada (ice cream), as well as partner brands such as La Lorraine (frozen bakery products) and President (dairy).

Dan Minulescu started Macromex in 1993 and his business is among the Romanian companies that withstood the crisis and even grew. A recent ZF analysis shows that almost half of the 50 largest Romanian-held companies in 2009 are now insolvent.
