“The fact that we now have a foothold in Spain is extremely significant for the continued growth of Hagebau,” said Heribert Gondert, spokesman for the cooperative’s management. “By expanding its operations to Spain we are laying down a good foundation for successful further development.” Coferdroza has stores on the Spanish mainland, while Coarco is active in the Canary Isles.
The two new limited partners at Hagebau operate in both the speciality and retail trade. Collaboration between Hagebau, Coarco and Coferdroza will thus encompass virtually the whole of Spain and will focus on cooperation in the retail trade.
