Edeka's private label activities are based on two pillars: firstly its range of "quality PL brands" and secondly its range of "discounter PL brands".
Recently, Edeka has streamlined its PL range resulting in a reduction in the number of brands from 26 to 12 - and a stronger umbrella character of the remaining brands.
Edeka says it is the only brand - PL or manufacturer - that follows such a concept in the German market.
