PPD Global, one of the leading local distributors of premium beverages, has invested €500,000 in equipping its logistics center in Bucharest with modern photovoltaic panels with a total installed power of 405 kWp. PPD Global's total investment in the logistics center amounts to €6.2 million over the last five years.
