In an environment where the process of concentration is continuing as well from manufacturer’s side, as well from retailer’s side, EMD offers to its members a platform to take part in an international cooperation with the branded products industry.

Those members who are committed to branded products in their assortments and are able and willing to develop a sustainable relationship with manufacturers of branded products, can take part in one of EMD’s Working Groups. The Working Groups offer the unique platform for this international cooperation.

The agreements with the manufacturer’s of branded products are negotiated by Jürgen Barthelmä, Director Branded Products, assisted by David Gomez, Manager Branded Products.
