No more empty shelves: Aldi and Edeka take over manufacturers to avoid bottled water
Also at Aldi Nord and Edeka there were bottlenecks in the water shelves again and again. To prevent this, the dealers have now taken over two manufacturers.
Due to the tense supply situation, German consumers have recently often found themselves in front of empty mineral water shelves. As the “Lebensmittel Zeitung” reports, the Edeka Group is now taking over the Petrusquelle, based in Bavaria, on April 1 in order to avoid further bottlenecks.
The Siegdorfer Petrusquelle brand should be retained. In the future, however, private label mineral water for the supermarket will apparently also be produced at the site.

Aldi breaks with the takeover of manufacturers with years of tradition
The bottlenecks at Edeka arose last year after Altmühltaler had parted ways after a price dispute. Since then, the focus has increasingly been on the French Alma Group and its German subsidiary Rhönsprudel.
Aldi Nord also often had to contend with bottlenecks last year. The discounter reacted and took over two locations from Altmühltaler. For the group, it was the end of a decade-long tradition: Up to now, Aldi had always done without its own production facilities and only concentrated on the retail business. The only exception was the coffee.
