On January 1, 2007, the group structure of the Globus Group was dissolved. The individual companies of the former Globus Group, including Office World, have since been run as independent companies within the Migros Group.
On October 16, 2017, Migros announced that it would sell the Office World Group (OWiba) to the Austrian MTH Retail Group (MTH) .
On February 28, 2018, it was announced that the former Migros boss Herbert Bolliger and Möbel Pfister boss Matthias Baumann will sit on the OWiba Board of Directors. In addition, the two take a seat on the supervisory board of MTH Holding.
