Retail and consumer goods
Why the Russian retail and consumer goods sector?
- Russia was ranked as the third most attractive retail market in the Global Retail Development Index of 2008.
- Russia has 142 million consumers who will, despite the crisis, continue to consume
- Around 50% of the total Russian retail market is covered by imports.
Some of the projects Lighthouse has been involved in include:
- Investment advice, market development assistance and establishment of production of chocolate products on behalf of a Dutch confectionery company.
- Establishment of production of cake products in Chelyabinsk.
- Mediation between a Western producer of leisure wear and its Russian distributor.
- Market surveys of the Russian food and beverages sector and the Russian market of construction and household adhesives.
- Market entry assistance for a Dutch manufacturer of leisure yachts.
- Individual matchmakings for a large number of companies, including producers of winter leisure wear, frozen patisserie and desserts, leather bags, Christmas and Easter decorations and baby, children, men and women wear.
"It has been a great pleasure to do business with Lighthouse. We were assisted by them in a fast and professional way. Thanks to them we were able to make a quick start on the Russian market."
