United Nordic is the purchasing and collaboration organization connecting leading retail companies across the Nordics. Together, we create stronger brands, better offers, and sustainable growth.
The purchasing operations of our owners are locally carried out by each company. The Nordic negotiations are coordinated through a Nordic collaboration. Individual purchasers from each company come together in category-based purchasing groups within United Nordic.
The private label business is the core operation of United Nordic. Our owners have a comprehensive range of brands that cover all product categories.
An annual turnover of approximately EUR 21,7 billion makes United Nordic one of the largest purchasing groups of food and household products in the region. The private label purchasing value of our owners is today EUR 21,7 billion, and keeps growing.
United Nordic shall work for improved working and living conditions for employees and farmers in our supply chain. It is a great challenge as our supply chains are complex and spread out in countries all over the globe.
United Nordic coordinates joint purchasing of private label products and imported goods for our owners and we strive to harmonize our brands and specifications wherever possible. This setup enables our suppliers to achieve economies of scale by bundling volumes, using common recipes and to manage more efficient production series.
