Retail & Consumer Goods
A fast-moving mentality…
Belgium has always been known as a centre of trade. From the early Renaissance to modern times, raw materials, goods and services have been moving with ease from the Flemish ports to customers around the world. Locally, multinationals produce, sell and distribute everything from potato chips to sneakers.
…combines with a multi-cultural mindset
Managing all this top-notch infrastructure and international trade requires a serious mind for business. This is where ALTIUS’ multi-talented and multi-lingual experts can step in and help advise on all types of projects from distribution strategy to investment projects, cooperation agreements, retail space contracts, dispute resolution and competition issues.
