Strengthening the market positions of all members

Cooperation of cooperations

In recent years, distributors’ demands on their cooperation headquarters have grown steadily. The members of a cooperation expect perfect support from their head office, both in core functions such as central payment or logistics, but also in indispensable services such as marketing, sales and data management.
Against this background, a large number of well-known cooperations and buying associations have sought cooperation with E/D/E as a powerful partner under the keyword “cooperation of cooperations”.

These successful collaborations with E/D/E are characterized by three key features:

  • The core elements of the cooperation are the expansion and further development of the market positions of all members
  • Each cooperation concept or cooperation model is geared towards the individual needs of the respective group
  • The independence of all cooperation partners and head offices remains unaffected and unrestricted by the cooperation

The main cooperation goals are:

  • Offer existing services to members more cost-effectively through the cooperation
  • Extending existing service offerings and offering additional service modules
  • Further expanding the core functions of the cooperations

Model of international partnerships:
E/D/E has successfully established benefit-oriented partnerships with a large number of legally independent cooperations in neighboring European countries. Optimum utilization of existing synergies is always the basis of cooperation.

Establishment of a joint company:
New cooperation companies have been established in the past on the basis of mergers between independent cooperation groups and E/D/E business divisions. The aim is to bundle key sector-specific services through the joint companies and to achieve optimum competitiveness.

Cooperation with identical product areas:
By transferring defined functions and tasks to E/D/E, it was possible to offer competitive and cost-optimized services. The result is an increase in performance and efficiency for the individual organizations and cooperation partners.
