Larive was engaged by Marvesa to provide in-depth insight into the regulatory (legal, fiscal) conditions and market attractiveness of a selected number of Asian countries, given Marvesa’s ambitions to establish a sourcing & sales office and a storage & distribution facility. This enabled Marvesa to better understand (1) profitability levels, (2) associated risks & opportunities and (3) the most attractive location(s) to establish its activities in Asia, facilitating the company’s internal decision-making processes.
