History | Unimark
The reason for our existence
Constituída em 1996, a UNIMARK é uma cooperativa de grossistas e retalhistas de produtos de grande consumo que se uniram com o objetivo de aumentar os seus níveis de eficiência e eficácia empresarial, empenhando-se conjuntamente na melhoria das condições de aquisição aos fornecedores e de venda aos seus clientes. Agrupa neste momento 19 empresas, num total de 40 cash&carry com 1500 supermercados e minimercados associados.
The union of all participants has the primary objective of providing greater purchasing power, leading to improved pricing and payment conditions. However, the role of this union doesn't stop there, as it actively promotes independent local retail through various retail brands, with the largest being supported by 16 wholesalers under the “Aqui é Fresco” network, which comprises around 700 stores. Other brands include “A Nossa Loja” and “Viva.”
Dedicated to establishing partnerships and enhancing synergies, in 2008, UNIMARK made an agreement with Euromadi, the largest purchasing center in Iberia. Through its subsidiary in Portugal, “Euromadiport,” UNIMARK now conducts part of its purchasing activities and utilizes a centralized payment system.
Because commercial activity is increasingly influenced by decisions made at a global level, in 2011, “Euromadiport” joined “EMD-European Marketing Distribution,” the largest purchasing center in Europe, benefiting from negotiations at the European level both in terms of supply contracts and private label brands.

Telma Borges
Especialista em Marca e Marketing
"On November 13, it will be 7 years since I joined UNIMARK. There is a theory called the 'seven-year crisis,' which, in my particular case, is contradicted by the sense of sharing and solidarity that I have been able to establish in this company.
It has been a source of pride for me to 'live' through UNIMARK's 25 years and, above all, to continue contributing to the work carried out by UNIMARK in various areas."
