The “Acorex” company started its activity in 1989 as an exporter of Moldavian wines. Back in those times the company was carrying out only trade operations selling wines produced by Moldovan wine factories. By that time, only Moldovan wine producers could provide a permanent high quality of products. That’s why the management of “Acorex” company took the decision to build its own modern factory for wine production and bottling.
