ALDI ESPAÑA operates in the retail groceries sector as part of a global discount supermarket network, aiming to deliver value through a mix of own-brand products and carefully chosen suppliers. Its origins trace back to 1945 in Essen, Germany, founded by Theo and Karl Albrecht, evolving from a family ultramarinos business into a large international retailer. In Spain, the first store opened in 2002, and the network today numbers more than 490 establishments, with its base in San Cugat del Vallés, Catalonia. The company emphasizes simplicity, reliability, and responsible operations, seeking to offer quality products at low prices by partnering with local, state, and international suppliers and through its own brands such as El Mercado, Special, Milsani, Bio, Lacura, and Mildeen. It highlights a focus on the customer experience and on staff development and wellbeing, alongside commitments to store functionality and environmental responsibility. Recent reporting notes expansion activity in Spain, including a Marbella center store opening on June 24, 2026, and the broader expansion of its offices across Spain and Southern Europe.
