negotiation coordinates with the shared suppliers of both divisions
(Billa and Penny) regarding commercial terms and conditions. At the
same time, the strategic department of the company will facilitate
the exchange of know-how and organisational synergies, in order to
streamline the regional activities of the group”, added the head of
