Our owners

United Nordic was established in 1964 by a group of privately owned food wholesalers to conduct import of grocery products. Our purpose was – as it is today – to achieve optimal purchasing terms for our owners through a Nordic collaboration.

The United Nordic partners today form one of the largest wholesale and retail organizations in northern Europe, with an annual total sale of approximately EUR 20 billion. The United Nordic owners – Dagrofa (Denmark), Axfood (Sweden) and NorgesGruppen (Norway) own the company by equal shares.
Since 2014 Martin & Servera is an associated member of United Nordic
