Last year’s performance on the local market is the best for the German company and represents more than a doubling over the past decade. In comparison, in 2015, Kaufland’s revenue stood at RON9.1 billion.
However, the retailer saw its profit drop to RON796 million in 2025, a 30% year-over-year decline.
In 2025, Kaufland hired approximately 700 more people, bringing its total workforce to over 15,300 employees working across its 190 stores nationwide.
Kaufland is the second-largest actor in the food retail sector by revenue and its owner is the Schwarz Group, one of the largest local investors. The same group also includes two other food retailers: Lidl, which is the largest actor by 2024 results, and La Cocos, which ranks 10th among the largest players and has recently joined the Schwarz Group.
