Philippe Gruyters
Managing Director EMD
«Since 1989, EMD has been a strong service provider for its members and its partners of the producing industry. The success during all these years was only possible because of the members’ commitment. It is fascinating that we as independent retailers could reach common goals in spite of the diversity we represent.»
Our company
EMD is an extremely lean and member-oriented organisation. The company operates from its headquarter in Pfäffikon, near Zürich in Switzerland.
The daily management
EMD Working Groups
EMD is structured in a department Private Label Products and Branded Products. Both departments are intensively linked to our members by the Working Groups. The Working Groups are attended by the members’ specialist buyers of the participating countries.
The Working Groups define and implement the sourcing projects and negotiation activities. They guarantee a highly efficient coordination between the company and the members.
