[company_age]65.0[/company_age][employees]51-200 employees[/employees][description]Gruppo VéGé stands as a trailblazing force in the Italian retail sector, boasting a rich history that dates back to its inception in 1959. As the first organized retail group in Italy, Gruppo VéGé has consistently demonstrated its commitment to innovation and collaboration. The company operates as a network, uniting 29 member companies with a collective retail presence exceeding 3,000 stores nationwide. This extensive network encompasses a diverse range of retail formats, including hypermarkets, supermarkets, superettes, specialized stores, and cash & carry outlets. A defining characteristic of Gruppo VéGé is its strategic approach to partnerships. Notably, the company formed Aicube, a commercial alliance with Pam Panorama, a major player in the Italian retail landscape. Furthermore, Gruppo VéGé's international reach was significantly bolstered through a strategic agreement with Grupo IFA, a leading Spanish distribution company. This partnership led to the creation of a robust international platform with a valuation surpassing 23 billion euros. Gruppo VéGé's journey, from its early grocery store roots in the Netherlands to its current position as a leader in the Italian retail market, is a testament to its adaptability and forward-thinking approach.[/description][ps]Retail services encompassing various formats, including hypermarkets, supermarkets, and specialized stores.[/ps]
