ALDI | HOFER operates a discount grocery retail chain across 11 countries, with over 540 stores in Austria and headquarters in Salzburg. Founded in 1968 when ALDI SOUTH acquired a small Austrian grocery chain, the company employs thousands of staff across retail, supply chain, and corporate functions.
The business model centres on curated product selection with a heavy emphasis on private-label goods, enabling operational efficiency that translates to lower prices for customers. This approach requires sophisticated supply chain management, logistics coordination, and retail operations across multiple markets.
ALDI | HOFER operates across several technical and operational domains: IT and digital transformation, supply chain and logistics, retail operations and merchandising, sustainability and environmental practices, and workforce development and training. The company describes itself as offering genuine flexibility through hybrid work arrangements for eligible roles, with an organisational culture emphasising that everyone's voice matters and significant investment in employee growth programmes.
