In order to position itself optimally for future challenges, Kaufland will separate the Purchasing and Country Management Board departments again as of March 1, 2025.
Kaufland has been able to recruit the experienced retail manager Jochen Baab for the Purchasing board department. Baab (53) has held various positions of responsibility in the food retail sector in recent years.
Thorsten Sauter (46) will be responsible for the successful further development of the seven foreign national companies as Chief Country Officer. In addition to Germany, Kaufland is represented in Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Croatia and the Republic of Moldova. In the seven countries outside Germany, the company operates over 780 stores and employs over 65,000 people.
"With this new division, we are optimally positioned to meet the challenges of the future in an even more focused manner," says Frank Schumann, CEO of Kaufland.
