Spanish supermarket chain Mercadona has opened an office in Brussels, as it seeks to gain more visibility in Europe, according to local media reports.

Spanish daily El Economista reported that the retailer is aiming to boost direct contacts with EU institutions primarily responsible for legislation and regulation, the report said.

Mercadona has been a member of EuroCommerce, which represents the retail and wholesale sectors in Europe, for more than 15 years.

Through its Brussels office, Mercadona also hopes to improve cooperation with suppliers to expand its business network and secure international purchases on a global scale.

As well as boasting more than 1,670 supermarkets and 99,000 employees in Spain and Portugal, the company has twelve other subsidiaries and offices in other countries.

Some offices are tasked with supplying certain products of very specific origins, such as foods from Italy, pineapples from Costa Rica and products from South Africa and China.
