Purchasing
We have secured extensive purchasing advantages, which we pass on to our clients.
To this end, MARKANT AG acts as a purchasing office, where many notable trading companies are organised. These trade partners of MARKANT, of which there are over 100, generated a gross external turnover of 65 billion euros in the wholesale and retail trade in 2009, of which MARKANT AG settled 29 billion euros. The correspondingly high sales figures enable us to negotiate favourable purchasing prices with manufacturers. You can find out more about MARKANT AG at www.MARKANT.de.
PHD - high levels of regional consolidation and strength of product range
Bartels-Langness is also one of the founding partners of the purchasing company Privates Handelshaus Deutschland (PHD). Its partners are characterised by substantial market shares in the region and high level of ability to present its range of products in a convincing and competitive manner in the region.
The four founding partners of PHD represent 250 hypermarkets and C+C markets, well over 2,000 supermarkets and petrol stations and 200 speciality markets throughout Germany. Every day they fill a total shop floor area of over 1.6 million square metres with their products. With 6 billion euros of external turnover, PHD is the largest private purchasing cooperation in Germany. Its partners, also including Bartels-Langness’ famila stores and MARKANT supermarkets, are an attractive partner for the brand name industry, as they offer an ideal platform for national and regional marketing activities and performance. Furthermore, they also impress with high on-site concentration and centralised logistical services. You can find out more about PHD at www.phd-zentrale.de.
Purchasing advantages due to our own Logistics department
We also offer a great deal of our suppliers the option of centrally supplying our warehouse, instead of having to drive to each retail store, which is a logistical advantage for manufacturers, saving our clients hard cash.
Direct purchasing
What is more, our clients also benefit from the extensive know-how of our buyers, who are able to negotiate globally outstanding conditions because we buy our products with the partners mentioned above directly from the manufacturer, regardless of whether their head office is in China, South Africa or Schleswig-Holstein. This saves us and our clients additional money.
