Our local partner will launch market development in Auckland, the largest city in the country. Then it’s planned to expand supplies to other cities as well. The Barrister will be present in traditional and modern retail chains, such as the Woolworth and Foodstuffs, liquor stores, and in official distributor's online stores.

"Opening new markets and increasing the number of countries where Ladoga products are present helps us strengthen our position as one of the leading Russian exporters of spirits. Consumers all over the world recognize the company's premium products. It is worth mentioning that local producers have the predominant share in the Asia-Pacific region. Nevertheless, our company's export is developing. Today, one can find our products in China, Taiwan, Japan, Laos, Vietnam, Australia, and other countries. It is noteworthy that our consumers in these countries are mostly locals, rather than immigrants from the former Soviet Union," said Ruslan Grigoryev, Export Director of Ladoga Group.
