We are part of the daily lives of millions of people
With 575,000 employees in 32 different countries, the Schwarz Group is among the top retail groups in the world. Based in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, the pillars in food retailing are Lidl and Kaufland. Furthermore the Schwarz Produktion is active in food production and PreZero in the area of environmental services. This makes the Schwarz Group one of only a few retail groups to cover the entire value cycle, from production and retail to disposal and recycling. In addition, a great deal of experience in the field of digitalization and IT was accumulated over many years and even IT solutions were developed, which are now benefiting other companies, too. For example, the cloud and colocation provider STACKIT and the cyber security service provider XM Cyber offer superior digital services for businesses and administrations.
