The company owns a dedicated vehicle fleet to support its distribution operations.

Over recent years, CBA Nord Vest has expanded its physical presence with cash and carry stores opened in cities like Satu Mare (2013), Arad (2015), Oradea (2016), and Cluj Napoca (2021). The workforce has grown significantly, now comprising over 200 employees in Romania.

The group distinguishes itself from competitors through commercial policies tailored to the evolving retail environment, including a wide range of own-brand products, focus on temperature-controlled categories, flexible pricing based on quantity, and a reseller loyalty program. This agile approach enables quick decision-making suited to market demands.
