About Coop

We are Coop, one of Switzerland's largest retail and wholesale companies, deeply rooted in the fabric of Swiss society. Organized as a cooperative with over 2.5 million members, our history dates back to 1890, and we have grown from a small consumer union into a diverse, international group. We are proud to be owned by our members—our customers—which drives our commitment to quality, sustainability, and fair pricing. Our operations are divided into two main pillars: Retail and Wholesale/Production.

In our Retail division, we operate the densest network of sales outlets in Switzerland, including supermarkets and specialist formats like Interdiscount, Coop City, and Jumbo. We are passionate about being close to our customers, whether in a large city or a mountain village. Our Wholesale and Production division, which includes the Transgourmet Group and Bell Food Group, allows us to operate across Europe, ensuring we can deliver fresh, high-quality products efficiently. We are also pioneers in sustainability; under our motto 'Actions, not words', we actively promote organic farming, fair trade, and environmental protection.

With a workforce of over 95,000 dedicated employees, we are one of Switzerland's largest employers. We believe in offering fair employment terms, extensive training opportunities, and a supportive work environment. Whether it's through our digital innovations in e-commerce or our traditional brick-and-mortar stores, we are united by a common goal: to serve our customers and communities with integrity and enthusiasm.
