The Nordic Market |
|
|
|
With a consumer base of 25 million the market of northern Europe is attractive for it's volume alone. The market - with an estimated value of more than EUR 56,000 million (cf. EMD 2001) - is continuously expanding, just as demands are constantly rising as consumers become more and more interested in food and household products of a higher quality.
Furthermore, the Nordic market benefits from a generally strong economy in each of the four
Nordic countries with consumers able to buy, a well functioning infrastructure, a large number of retailers spread out through the region, etc.
The food industry is currently seeing intense consolidation. This is having significant impact
on the market conditions with rising demands on efficiency and purchasing strength, just as
logistics and supply chain management through the use of IT is an area of increasing importance.
Private label goods are set out to play a still greater role, while knowledge about specific customer needs has become more important than ever when it comes to targeting the increased segmentation of customer groups.
To meet these challenges, United Nordic has developed a collection of clear and distinctive concepts that meet the customers' varying needs:
 |
We are constantly striving to increase the integration of retail and wholesale activities. |
|
|
|
We have the negotiation power and implementation strength vis-à-vis suppliers. |
|
|
|
We are able to utilize the advantages from economies of scale through our solid Nordic presence.
|
Being the only large-scale food purchasing organization operating in all four Nordic
countries, United Nordic has brought the Nordic market together in a unique way. Hence, we are in a unique position to tailor our purchases to meet the specific tastes and demands in the individual Nordic countries, combined with the advantages that comes from purchasing on the joint-Nordic level.
Supplier Opportunities
United Nordic's annual sales of approximately EUR 9 billion indicate our position as one of the largest purchasers of food and household products in the region. The private label purchasing value of our owners is today 600 million Euro, and is continuously growing.
