COMPANY PROFILE

Alidis/Agenor is a Swiss-based Buying Alliance for six of the major European retailers for whom it buys national brands and Private Label. Until August 2015 Alidis and its operational arm Agenor was one of the most stable purchasing groups in Europe as it had been owned by the German Edeka, the French Les Mousquetaires and the Spanish Eroski for almost 10 years. Such situation changed drastically when Coop Schweiz, Italian Conad and Belgian Colruyt — members of the late Core purchasing group — announced their intention to join the group, thus constituting the largest alliance of European food retailers. As of today, thanks to its new members, Alidis is present in 8 countries for a cumulated turnover of up to 140 billion euros.

PRIVATE LABEL

Alidis is currently negotiating national brands as well as Private Label products for its members. As far as Private Label is concerned, the idea of Alidi’s members is not only to negotiate better prices fir higher quantities but also to mutualize manufacturers for certain categories : for example, German Edeka is launching a French-specialties oriented brand thanks to some of ITM’s manufacturers.
