The chain of DIY stores Dedeman, market leader of the Rumanian DIY market, wants to expand to the Republic of Moldova in the medium-term. However Dedeman has set its next expansion goal on its home market: here the company will operate 50 stores, presumably in 2018. After this, they want to "enter the countries around Romania and the first step will be the Republic of Moldova," says Dragos Paval, president of Dedeman.
