Updated:

In short

Eurospin is Italy's largest discount group, with more than 1,300 stores in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Malta, and the number five grocery retailer in Italy by market share. Its packaged food range is built on its own brands, without the big national brands. Suppliers join only through the online supplier portal. Products are lab-tested first, and only suppliers that pass are invited to a sealed-bid negotiation: one offer, no haggling.

  • Own brands: more than 2,200 products carry Eurospin brands. Eurospin says it is the only European chain of its kind without major national brands in packaged food (brochure 2025).
  • Logistics: 16 depots supply all stores every day (Eurospin, about us).

Getting listed at Eurospin

Eurospin has a clear, written process on its supplier page (Eurospin supplier area):

  1. Register on the supplier portal. This is the only way in; Eurospin asks suppliers not to use other channels. It checks financial strength and production capacity.
  2. Samples and tests. When Eurospin needs a product, it sends its quality specification and asks for a technical sheet and samples. Samples get chemical and microbiological lab tests; own-brand products also get consumer panels and internal tastings.
  3. Sealed-bid negotiation. Only suppliers that pass are invited. They receive terms covering contract length, delivery, ordering, quantities, payment and promotions, and submit one offer on the portal. The offer is not negotiated before or after. Volatile products such as fresh produce are negotiated the traditional way.
  4. Audits. Eurospin audits production sites before or soon after supply starts and keeps testing products during supply.

Eurospin says it does not use reverse auctions or double-reverse auctions for food (Eurospin supplier area).
