Our extensive assortment satisfies a wide range of professional customer requirements. It offers something for any need – at different price and quality points.
In 2017, we joined forces with professional chefs to align our brand image and product range with the wholesale sector. In 2018 we rolled out this product mix in all countries. Our target for 2030? An increase in share of own brands to over 35%.
Our assortment – especially that of our own brands – is a strong lever to achieve a positive impact in terms of more sustainable consumption. In a continuous transformation process, we are expanding our assortment of sustainable, local and healthy products for our customers to meet their expectations.
