Acorex is a
Moldovan wine producer from
Cricova.
History
The
Acorex company started its activity in 1989 as an exporter of
Moldovan wines. In the beginning the company was carrying out only trade operations by selling wines produced by various Moldovan wineries. The company then took the decision to build its own modern factory for wine production and bottling.
In August 1998, with an investment of 14 million US dollars, the construction of the first Moldovan 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.
