In 2001 the company expanded its activities to distribution of goods. It started importing a brand called „Vitaminka“ from neighboring country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through the coming years AIPK TRGOVINA started closing its retail establishments and their business plan was directed towards wholesale – distribution. Shortly after the import of the brand „Vitaminka“, the company started to develop its own brand under the name „MARI“. In the beginning it was just a few products, but its range has expanded.
In 2004, AIPK TRGOVINA imported the brand „Mikado“ from Germany, which had about 80 items of processed fruit and vegetables.
