Intermarché, a chain of independent business managers, and Casino group have decided to cooperate in purchasing starting with negotiations for 2015.
This peer-to-peer partnership applies to France only. It aims to optimize the two partners’ purchases and, at national level, to improve services offered to suppliers, on leading brand goods produced by multinational groups, in both food and non-food.
The partnership will not apply to private label products, nor to traditional fresh farming or fishing produce, or to national brand products supplied by SMEs or mid-sized companies.
Intermarché and Casino group will continue to manage and develop their marketing strategies and outlets separately, thereby keeping their respective stores totally separate.

Thanks to this partnership, Intermarché and Casino group customers will continue to benefit from the competitive animation between the two groups’ stores. This partnership will help to sustain the diversity of retail groups operating in the French market
This week, the European Commission opened a formal investigation into possible secret agreements between the French food retailers Casino and Intermarché. They are alleged to have coordinated their selling prices, which is contrary to EU competition rules.

Buying alliances are not problematic; price agreements are

The fact that Casino and Intermarché decided to join forces for procurement in 2014 is not a stumbling block for the European Commission. In a press release, European Commissioner Margrethe Vestager stated that buying alliances between retailers can lead to lower prices for consumers. But, she then adds: 'Such benefits can however disappear quickly if retailers use these alliances to collude on their sales activities.' In conclusion, the Commission is concerned that both retailers, by working together, went beyond the initial purpose of the buying alliance and also coordinated their pricing policies. This is something the Commission now wants to investigate.
This investigation is a follow-up to searches that took place in May of this year at the head offices of both retail groups. At that time, the European Commission did not want to mention any names, although the companies involved did confirm the news themselves. Casino and Intermarché formed an alliance in November 2014 under the name of INCA, in order to have a stronger joint hand in negotiations with brand manufacturers. Last year, that cooperation ended as Casino decided to work with Auchanto obtain better prices from its suppliers.
