What Zedach group does

ZEDACH group (legal name: ZEDACH eG – Zentralgenossenschaft des Dachdeckerhandwerks) is a registered German cooperative (eingetragene Genossenschaft) headquartered in Hamm that operates as the central procurement and services platform for the German roofing trade. Founded in 1963, it federates four legally independent purchasing cooperatives — D1K, DE Süd, DEG, and DEX — that together channel materials, tools, and services to roofing and carpentry SMBs. The group generates approximately 2 billion EUR in annual turnover, employs more than 3,000 people across the network, and operates over 150 own branches in Germany plus additional locations in Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, and Poland.

The operating model combines collective purchasing with an integrated service stack. Core procurement covers roughly 800,000 sortiment articles sourced from approximately 50 industry partners (marketed through the annual INVEST catalog), distributed via a proprietary truck fleet that delivers materials just-in-time directly to construction sites. Layered services include ZEDACH KDS (a commercial data processing system for member cooperatives), the Dach-Daten-Pool (a centralized roof-related data repository), Maschinen & Werkzeuge (machinery and tools), and trade marketing under the DACHMARKETING GmbH and DEBAU GmbH subsidiaries. Member-owned governance, multi-channel trade media (das dach print magazine at 12,700 circulation; DACH\LIVE online magazine), and industry initiatives such as Aktion Dach and the German Roofing National Team round out the value proposition targeted at German and select Central European roofers and carpenters.
