Anecoop Group, Spain's leading agri-food cooperative in fruit and vegetable marketing, continues advancing its international expansion. At the end of July, as part of its 25th-anniversary celebrations, its subsidiary in the Czech Republic, Anecoop Praha, inaugurated its new facilities in the Lipence market, the epicenter of the country's wholesale fresh fruit and vegetable trade and a strategic enclave for supplying Eastern European countries.

Founded in 1999, Anecoop Praha moved to the Lipence market in 2010. Subsequently, given the significant growth in its activity, it acquired this warehouse that, after being reconditioned, has just been inaugurated. The warehouse has a usable area of 1,450 m² and two separate areas where the administrative and operational areas are located. Its location is unique. It is at the main road intersection, very close to the main customers that this subsidiary supplies.
Lipence is a transshipment platform for 55% of trucks transporting fresh fruit and vegetables. Anecoop Praha's new facilities operate as a loading, unloading, quality control, sorting, labeling, and storage center. The distribution of goods to Czech, Slovakian, and Hungarian customers is managed from there.
