\nThanks to their new EMD membership, the new Polish members will be able to increase their European sourcing capabilities, generating significant savings from their supply chain which will be reinvested in strengthening their proposition to their customers.<\/p>\n

\nThe new EMD member to be created by Grupa Eurocash, Grupa Chorten and Netto is to be the notable buying group in Poland with a combined market presence of around 20\u2019000 stores across the country with the combined annual turnover of approximately over 12 billion Euro which consider them #2 in retail sales in Poland.<\/p>\n

\nSubject to the merger clearance from the Polish competition authority and establishment of the Polish joint-venture company, the new members will join EMD\u2019s joint sourcing of Private Label products and EMD\u2019s offer of on-top services to international A-brand manufacturers from 2026 on.<\/p>\n

\nPawel Surowka, Eurocash\u2019s Chief Executive Officer: \u201cWe are extremely pleased to become a member of the strong and partnership-based EMD community. EMD offers us many product ranges and marketing instruments which will enable us to further accelerate our customer-oriented growth in the Polish market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nFor all manufacturers operating in the field of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), the new EMD partnership opens up new opportunities.<\/p>\n

\nWhile EMD and its member companies focus on the procurement and marketing of successful private label products, EMD members united in the EMD Retail Group also implement cross-border services and marketing concepts in partnership with leading multinational A-brand manufacturers.<\/p>\n

\nIn the EMD Retail Group, the Polish buying alliance, subject to the antimonopoly clearance, will collaborate from 2026 on with selected prominent and successful retail companies in their respective home countries, including the Euromadi Alfa Group from Spain, ESD Italia, Superunie from the Netherlands, RTG International, a German group of retailers, and retailer Axfood from Sweden, who also will join the group in 2026.<\/p>\n

The EMD Retail Group cooperates with the most renowned manufacturers in the industry, including these A-brands. <\/p>\n
