"The excellent basis of trust and the always good and constructive cooperation with colleagues were decisive for the early extension. I am very pleased that we will continue to work together on the renewal and further development of our Austrian and international activities in a challenging competitive environment in the coming years. In recent years, we have made and implemented ground-breaking decisions in Austria and our other countries with a great deal of passion and commitment. We have reorganised the administration, merged BILLA and MERKUR in Austria both as organisations and as brands, strengthened our activities in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Italy in a targeted manner and intend to continue successfully on this path of growth with full strength and stability," explained Jan Kunath, Deputy CEO of REWE Group and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of REWE International AG. "We have exactly the right team for this - with the extension of the Management Board contracts until the end of 2025, we are confirming this course," Kunath continued.
