United Nordic is a well recognized organization around the world, formally established in 1964. By virtue of our size we are in a unique position to customer-tailor our purchasing to take into account the specific taste and demand in the individual countries, while achieving economies of scale through joint purchases.
Our alliance of wholesale partners spans the four Scandinavian countries, with some 25 million inhabitants in all. Individually our owners are dominant players in their respective home markets. They also have their own purchasing departments for categorizing, buying and marketing domestically produced food and household products as well as imported goods that are sold locally but not purchased through United Nordic.
Our owners are Dagrofa (Denmark), Tuko Logistics (Finland), Norgesgruppen (Norway) and Axfood (Sweden). The daily operations of purchasing and private label business are taking place in Supergros (daughter company of Dagrofa), in Unil (daughter company of Norgesgruppen), in the Purchasing department of Axfood, and in the Private Label department of Tuko Logistics.
Purchasing groups consisting of representatives of the four operating units cooperate in an integrated process in each product category. Each product category has a Chief Buyer who is ultimately responsible for purchasing decisions. Seamless cross-border cooperation and mutual trust in handling negotiations and purchases are critical success factors.
