The only alternative for the independent retail trade

The globalisation and concentration process continues apace in the retail trade. For the independent retail trade, EMD is the only alternative. By concentrating the regional forces in the European retail trade and networking national and European activities, EMD improves competitiveness of every individual member in the respective local markets. An extremely lean and member-oriented organisation guarantees highly efficient coordination between members and powerful support for the national organisations.

 

 

The Power of Partnership

EMD ensures improved buying terms and conditions for its members. New chances are opened up for industry and manufacturers due to the expansion of the sales territory – in the brandname area and in the manufacture of national and international own brands.
