With this launch, BIPA brings private-label products to the local market, introducing more than 1,500 own-brand items designed to offer a competitive quality–price ratio for everyday consumer needs.

Romanian consumers will find BIPA’s in-house brands across multiple categories, including BI CARE, BI LIFE, BI KiDS, BI STYLED, BI HOME, BABYWELL, LOOK BY BIPA and BI GOOD. These product lines span beauty, personal care, health and household essentials.

20–25 new stores per year planned
