[edit] History

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.

In August of 1998, with an investment of 14 millions US dollars, the construction of the first Moldavian private wine factory was accomplished. The company refused to cooperate with other Moldovan wine producers and completely focused on the production and selling of its own products.

Starting with 1999, the company started to build a program of individual production of grapes in order to control the quality of the products starting with the very first stages of its preparation.
