CroatiaThe owner of Lidl and Kaufland, Schwarz Group, is expanding into digital services with the opening of a new headquarters called Schwarz Digits. The facility, located in Bad Friedrichshall, Germany, resembles tech giants like Google or Apple and will employ around 3500 people. It includes amenities such as a kindergarten, restaurant, and fitness area. Bernd Wagner, responsible for cloud computing and sales at Schwarz Digits, emphasizes the company’s ambition to compete globally in the digital space. The expansion reflects Schwarz Group’s broader strategy to diversify beyond retail, including food production, waste management, recycling, and now digital innovation. The group, which operates over 600,000 employees worldwide, has generated nearly €185 billion in revenue last year.
