The sales lines include, for example, Billa , Penny , Rewe , Toom , DER Touristik Deutschland as well as ITS Reisen and Lekkerland .

history

1927-1945

In 1927 the Revisionsverband der Westkauf-Genossenschaften (Rewe for short) started work in Cologne. Its business purpose was to promote the business of independent merchants through the joint purchase of goods on competitive terms. Hazelnuts, dried apricots and raisins were among the most frequently traded products in the early years. In order to secure additional advantages over the competition, purchasing cooperatives began in the 1930s to influence the affiliated dealers with regard to shop fittings and advertising. With this in mind, uniform lettering was introduced in 1932.

In 1935, several purchasing cooperatives from Central Germany joined Rewe. In order to enable further growth, district headquarters were established, which still form the backbone of Rewe today. In the 1930s, Rewe grew more and more outside the traditional Rhenish-Westphalian economic area; In 1940 the number of cooperatives (106) and their members (around 8,000) reached a temporary high. The Second World War marked a turning point for the trading group, as important goods were difficult to obtain and many merchants had to go to the front for military service. In order to compensate for the problems in the traditional business, Rewe shifted its activities to production. In the further course, important parts of the administration were destroyed by bombing, so that Rewe was almost unable to act at the end of the war.

1946-1972

After the end of the war, Rewe resumed business operations in August 1945 . After the head office was relocated to Fredeburg and Bödefeld during the war due to the closer front lines , Rewe now returned to Cologne to start over. Due to the division of Germany into sectors, work was initially severely restricted, and branches were only gradually established in West Germany and West Berlin . Not all suppliers of branded goods were able to meet the need for basic foodstuffs, and there were problems with the procurement of sugar, among other things. This was one of the reasons for the introduction of the first trade brands in 1949. Flour, trickle salt and table oil were offered under the Rewe Dreistern brand, and margarine under the Rewe Kronjuwel brand. In the course of the reconstruction, Rewe positioned itself more decentrally. In 1960, Rewe again had over 100 member companies for the first time.

Various takeovers of supermarkets and chains in the 1960s and 1970s resulted in a wide variety of brands and formats. Against the background of the consolidation of the grocery trade in Germany, there were talks between Rewe and Edeka about a merger in 1971 . Together they would have covered around a quarter of the market. In the end, however, the project was not implemented, partly because of antitrust concerns. After the previously largely independent regional cooperatives had ceded all important management functions to the Rewe headquarters in 1968 , the partnership model that is still used today was introduced in 1972. The headquarters converted into a stock corporation, whose shareholders are the wholesalers, took over, for example, sales promotion and other central services. It gained considerably more importance. The cooperative auditing association was limited to funding the group.

1973-1996

Participation in the Leibbrand Group proved to be decisive for further development . In 1974 Rewe secured 50 percent and later 100 percent of the shares in the company, which included the Penny and Toom Baumarkt brands. The corporate group was referred to in public as the Rewe Leibbrand Group. Two years later, Rewe's sales exceeded the mark of ten billion marks for the first time . When Hans Reischl was appointed to the central board in 1977, the manager's ascent began, which was to have a decisive influence on Rewe over the next few years. In 1979, Rewe won a landmark ruling from the European Court of Justice for the free movement of goods in Europe. The focus of the decision was a liqueur that Rewe wanted to import from France despite its alcohol content, which was too low according to German law.

In 1983 Kaiser + Kellermann joined the trading group, later Rewe took a 75 percent stake in the company. The acquisition of 50 percent of the Atlas travel agencies meant entry into the tourism industry. Another commitment in this segment came in the mid-1990s with the takeover of ITS Reisen. After German reunification, Rewe expanded into the new federal states. The first supermarkets appeared in Weimar and Berlin, for example. After experimenting with building supermarkets under the Penny brand in England, Italy, Spain and France, Rewe took over the Austrian group led by Billa and Merkur in 1996 . With this step, the trading group positioned itself internationally and secured a permanent presence in Eastern and Southern Europe.

1997-2006

With the publication of the Rewe website under the domain rewe.de in 1997, the company expanded its presence on the Internet. In 1999, Deutsche Bahn announced that Rewe had been awarded the contract to take over the subsidiary Deutsches Reisebüro with effect from January 1, 2000. The company achieved sales of over five billion marks and had around 4,300 employees. Rewe advanced to become a leading provider in the tourism industry. The German travel agency formed the cornerstone for the group’s second mainstay alongside the traditional grocery store. Due to the ongoing organic growth as well as further takeovers and partnerships, sales reached record levels in the 2000s. In order to underline the connection to the headquarters, Rewe became the (main) sponsor of 1. FC Köln .

Shortly after Alain Caparros took office as CEO of the Rewe Group, the company gave up its traditional sales brands. In one fell swoop, around 2,800 of over 3,000 supermarkets were given a new logo. The renaming of the HL, Minimal, Otto-Mess, Kontra, Petz and Stüssgen stores to Rewe promised increasing market shares. The head office of the trading group appeared from then on under the name Rewe Group. By opening new stores and taking over 300 Plus locations, Rewe again expanded its extensive presence in the German market. In the years that followed, digitization and sustainability became more important.

2007 – today

Rewe repeatedly experimented nationally and internationally with new concepts for the food trade. One example of this is the Temma supermarkets, a modern take on corner shops . "Rewe to go" started in 2011 to compete with fast food chains; The main focus of the range is on ready-to-eat products such as salads, baked goods, drinks and coffee. After the Group's travel division had successfully established itself nationally and internationally, the DER Touristik Group was launched in 2013 as the umbrella company for this area. With this, the DER brand replaced the previously less known name Rewe Touristik.

In 2013, the Rewe Group set the target of reducing specific greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2022 compared to the reference year 2006. In the same year they took part in research projects to prevent the mass killing of day-old male chicks . The company focuses on the so-called Seleggt process, which determines gender at an early stage by removing a drop of embryonic urine from the hatching egg. In addition, the Rewe Group founded Rewe Digital, a subsidiary for all strategic online activities. Among other things, a stake in commercetools and Zooroyal was secured. In 2017, the Rewe Group announced that it would invest additional billions in the digitization of its businesses.

According to media reports, the Rewe Group announced on May 28, 2019 that it wanted to take over the wholesaler Lekkerland in full. This should strengthen the convenience food business. Lekkerland AG & Co. KG, based in Frechen, has been 100% owned by the Rewe Group since October 9, 2019.

Societies

The Rewe Group consists of two largely independent groups whose financial statements are pooled on a voluntary basis. Its parent companies are Rewe-Zentral- Aktiengesellschaft and Rewe-Zentralfinanz- Genossenschaft . While Rewe-Zentral-Aktiengesellschaft takes care of central areas and wholesaling, Rewe-Zentralfinanz-Genossenschaft ensures the financing of the entire group of companies.

At its head is Erich Stockhausen. The operational management of the Rewe Group is the responsibility of the Executive Board, whose composition and division of responsibilities is identical at both Group companies. After Alain Caparros withdrew, Lionel Souque took over the chairmanship of the board. His deputy is Jan Kunath. Sören Hartmann , Head of Tourism, and Christian Mielsch, Chief Financial Officer of the Rewe Group, also belong to the Management Board. Frank Wiemer, who is responsible for specialist stores, among other things, will step down from the board in 2019. This reduces the board of directors to four members.

Holdings

The investments of the Rewe Group are divided into consolidated, associated and affiliated companies as well as joint ventures. Most of them are based in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other European countries. Internationally, the Rewe Group is active in China and the United States, among others.

Akzenta -beteiligungsgesellschaft based in Wuppertal is one of the 15 affiliated companies that are not consolidated . One of the five joint ventures is ITS Coop Travel, based in Volketswil , which was founded by the Rewe Group and the Swiss trading company Coop .
