Rema Distribution

What Rema Distribution does

REMA Distribution Danmark A/S is a Danish B2B distribution company that delivers daily goods to more than 1,200 retail stores, restaurants and hotels across Denmark from a centralized logistics infrastructure headquartered in Horsens. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of REMA 1000 Danmark A/S, itself part of the REITAN group, and serves as the dedicated distribution arm for a defined set of enterprise anchors including REMA 1000, 7-Eleven, Circle K, OK Plus, Arctic Import, BFI-Indkøb, Flammen and Scandic, spanning the retail, convenience and foodservice verticals.

The operational platform combines a central warehouse at Marsalle 32 in Horsens with four additional distribution facilities in Horsens, Vejle and Hvidovre (Copenhagen area), supporting nationwide daily delivery under a transaction-fee distribution model. Beyond pure logistics, REMA Distribution provides collective purchasing and category management services across six verticals — Bakery & Beverage, Food, Cooling & Frozen (Køl & Frost), Dry Goods (Tørvarer), Tobacco and Cost Goods, and Foodservice — and offers product and concept development covering trend analysis, sourcing and private-label creation.

The business is sales-led, with go-to-market built on direct enterprise partnerships rather than open-market sales, complemented by industry trade-show presence in Copenhagen, London and Aarhus. Pricing is partner-specific and not publicly disclosed. The company holds Danish Food Authority compliance reports at all distribution sites and is a member of DIEH (Dansk Initiativ for Etisk Handel), reflecting a compliance-and-ethics orientation relevant to its retail and foodservice customers.
