The group has been operating on the market since 1999 when it started as the distributor of international brands in Uzbekistan.

With the purpose of business diversification, the group has entered the hospitality sector. In 2005 it opened its first Italian cuisine cafe named Caffe Il Perfetto. In three years Il Perfetto (ceased from April, 2019) grew into the chain of two restaurants and a pizzeria, and has become a well-established brand in Tashkent. The group opened its first Irish themed pub and restaurant later in 2005.

In 2006 the group started ice cream production using Italian traditions and equipment from Carpigiani. The same year, Italian restaurant was launched - Semo de’ Roma. Later in 2008, the group launched its microbrewery Bamberg beer using the world-known Kaspar Schultz brewing machinery.

In 2009, the group opened its first French coffee shop Bon!. Subsequently, it became a chain of French coffee shops, when two more outlets started their operations. Since then, bakery and pastry production expanded beyond Bon! to distributing products through large, local supermarkets.

In 2011, a great idea was opening of a restaurant with national Uzbek cuisine called Afsona Restaurant. Since then, it takes honourable first place among all restaurants in Tashkent city on international website “tripadvisor.com“.
