Gastro Grupa, Croatia’s biggest distributor to the domestic hotel, restaurant and catering industry, plans to expand to the markets of neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia next year.

In comments made to local media, Chairman Drago Munjiza said the group is looking for international growth as it expects the local market to decline.

The company has around 10,000 customers in the HoReCa industry and operates a fleet of 550 delivery vehicles. It also expects turnover this year of about Kn 2.5 billion (EUR 342 million).
