Supporting Client Expansion Across Borders: A DFK International Success


For several years, N&CA Studio Nicolini Commercialisti Associati, Milan, Italy, has been assisting a leading Italian Group, active in the large-scale retail and discount supermarkets sector, with a turnover of more than 11 billion euros and around 1,200 stores in the Italian territory. The Group, already a leader in several European markets, has chosen DFK International as a strategic partner to support its international expansion. 

A path of growth and collaboration 

The journey of collaboration began in Croatia, where the client opened a series of new stores. Thanks to the expertise and qualified assistance of member firm iAudit, Rijeka, who supported the client in the opening phase, the process of entering the market was a real success. 

This positive experience encouraged the client to continue their expansion, selecting our association once again to support the launch of new stores in Malta - a strategic market for its business and turning to Network firm, DFK Malta. The combined strength of local expertise and the global perspective of our association ensured another exceptional outcome.

The next stage: Serbia   

Looking to expand into Serbia, the Group has continued to rely on DFK’s services to navigate new challenges and opportunities.  Through collaboration with another of our Network firms, DFK Konsultant (Pozitiviti), Belgrade, the project is progressing efficiently with the client expressing great satisfaction with our integrated approach and the ability of our association to operate as a unified entity while maintaining the strength of local expertise.  

The value of DFK International

This story is a clear demonstration of the value that DFK delivers to its members and their clients. The collaborative and global approach of our alliance enables our members to support clients wherever their business takes them, providing not only technical expertise, but also a seamless experience in every country. 

We would like to thank each of our member firms who contributed to the success of this project, proving once again that together, we can deliver collaborative solutions, anywhere in the world.

We look forward to sharing further updates on this remarkable journey of international growth and partnership!

This is DFK. United Globally.
