Trandafir, Farmexpert: Growing too much is risky today
Iulian Trandafir, who a month ago reverted to the position of
CEO with Farmexpert, ranking second on the domestic pharmaceutical
distribution market, says he plans moderate growth this year since
a too big advance would also mean a higher exposure to risk, namely
to pharmacies risking insolvency.
"The target for this year is reaching turnover worth above 400m
euros, against the 385m-euro level of 2010. Farmexpert has a 14%
market share now. We do not target a too high increase as this
would also mean rising risks," Trandafir told ZF in the first
interview he had since he took over his new position.
He has a two-year contract with Farmexpert, viewed as classic for
the company and "should things go well, it can be extended". About
his coming back at Farmexpert, Trandafir says smiling that it is
like "riding a bike. You never forget how to do it".
