For the first time in the history of the company, REWE Group achieved total external revenue of more than 60\u00a0billion euros: in the past business year, 2018, revenue increased by 4.7\u00a0per\u00a0cent to 61.2\u00a0billion euros. Both business in Germany and foreign business of the Cologne-based cooperative trade and tourism company contributed to this strong revenue increase. In Germany, revenue grew by 4.5\u00a0per\u00a0cent and abroad by 5.2\u00a0per\u00a0cent. The foreign share of total external revenue of REWE Group thus increased slightly by 0.2\u00a0percentage points to 28.7\u00a0per\u00a0cent.<\/p>\n<p>At the presentation of the not yet audited business figures in Cologne on 3\u00a0April\u00a02019, Lionel Souque, CEO of REWE Group, said: <q>REWE Group is on a healthy growth trajectory, both nationally and internationally. In 2018, we once again profited from our huge investments made in previous years in the modernisation and expansion of our stores and in strengthening our Travel and Tourism division, both in Germany and in other European countries. The 2018 business year was one of the best in the history of our company \u2013 and this despite ongoing burdens due to the renovations at Sky stores. The strength in our core business gives us the opportunity to drive forward new business models and innovations that will be the foundation for a continued positive development of our company in the future.<\/p>\n<p>As a cooperative group, we pursue our strategic priorities calmly and with commercial foresight, even when the market and competitive environment is sometimes characterised by turbulence.<\/q><\/p>\n<p>Once again, the independent food retail business, under the umbrella of REWE Group, was a driver of the positive overall development. <q>REWE retailers in Germany again managed to increase their revenue growth compared to the previous year<\/q>, says Souque. <q>Following growth of 8.5\u00a0per\u00a0cent in 2017, our retailers contributed to the successful economic development of REWE Group in 2018 with a revenue increase of 9.1\u00a0per\u00a0cent. The strengths of REWE retailers clearly lie in being local enterprises with roots in their respective towns and communities, high customer proximity, regional and local product ranges, as well as individual service. The promotion of independent retail remains a high priority for us. The continuous expansion of the sales network of independent retailers is a key factor here<\/q>, explains Souque. The number of stores of REWE retailers in Germany increased in 2018 by 5.1\u00a0per\u00a0cent from 1,635 to 1,718.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, revenue from online business under the umbrella of REWE Group continued to grow significantly by 22.4\u00a0per\u00a0cent overall.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"myblock-wrapper block-my-text-block block-ingrid\" data-module-name=\"Headline Copy Link\">    <div class=\"textblock margin-row-inner\">\n        <div class=\"entry-content\">\n            <h2 class=\"smaller\">Number of employees increases by 2.4 per cent<\/h2>\n            <p>The number of employees in Germany and other European countries rose by 2.4\u00a0per\u00a0cent to 360,315.

We have the strength to keep our investments at a high level in the future and plan to invest around two billion euros in the current business year. This is essential if we are to continue to grow dynamically and profitably in retail and tourism \u2013 nationally and internationally.<\/q><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"myblock-wrapper block-my-text-block block-ingrid\" data-module-name=\"Headline Copy Link\">    <div class=\"textblock margin-row-inner\">\n        <div class=\"entry-content\">\n            <h2 class=\"smaller\">National Full-Range Stores<\/h2>\n            <p>National Full-Range Stores, with REWE, REWE Center, REWE To Go, as well as nahkauf and other wholesale partners, achieved a revenue increase of 12.3\u00a0per\u00a0cent to 23.8\u00a0billion euros in 2018. This includes the joint venture with REWE Dortmund.<\/p>\n<p>Significant momentum was generated for the supermarket business particularly by the roll-out of the REWE\u00a02020 store concept, the central elements of which include freshness, regionality, healthy diets, variety, innovation and expert assistance.
