Migros centralization: These questions arise after the orange bang
Migros is announcing the biggest group restructuring in its history. Now it has to convince the cooperative members. And at the same time, search for a new CEO. An overview of the construction sites
The Migros, a Swiss retail company, has announced its largest-ever corporate restructuring, aiming to create a more efficient and competitive organization. The plan involves merging its 10 regional cooperatives into one large cooperative, with the goal of eliminating parallel structures in management, IT, logistics, HR, and marketing.
The company's CEO, Mario Irminger, and President, Ursula Nold, presented the plans, which will require approval from the 2.3 million cooperative members in a vote scheduled for June 2027. If approved, the restructuring is set to start in mid-2028, potentially leading to the elimination of several hundred jobs, while the company plans to open 140 new stores.
