The owner of Lidl grows in Spain with giant Kaufland

The German group Schwarz, owner of the Lidl supermarket chain, has launched its Kaufland marketplace in Spain. The platform offers over 10 million products from 3,100 vendors across 6,400 categories, competing with major retailers like El Corte Inglés, Ikea, and Amazon. This marks Kaufland's entry into the ninth European market, following successful launches in countries like Germany, France, and Italy.

The company aims to become the largest network of marketplaces in Europe, with plans to offer local traders new sales channels. Kaufland's parent company, Schwarz Group, operates over 14,500 stores and reported €185.6 billion in revenue last year.
