In 1927, 17 purchasing cooperatives joined forces and founded the ‘Revisionsverband der Westkaufgenossenschaften’ (Western Buying Co-operatives Auditing Association) – or REWE for short – with the goal of collectively organising the purchase of food. Today, the cooperative has an international presence and enjoys success in both the retail and tourism sectors. As a cooperative with a history dating back more than 90 years, we understand our ecological and social responsibility towards future generations. We are committed to safeguarding a sustainable future.
