Corporate Structure
Germany-based Aldi, divided into Aldi Nord (North) and Süd (South), is the world’s leading hard discount grocer and
the inventor of this concept. It has a single-format strategy with a presence in Europe, Australia and the US, where
Aldi Nord also owns Trader Joe’s supermarkets. Aldi is focused on efficiency and cost control through limited
assortments, limited services, low prices, small footprints and private labels.
