Gebr. Heinemann and Munich Airport subsidiary eurotrade have strengthened their long-standing partnership through a supply contract for future cooperation, signed on December 17 in Munich.

The contract confirms their joint wish to continue to shape and develop the shopping experience at Munich Airport.

eurotrade, a wholly owned subsidiary of Munich Airport, is one of Gebr. Heinemann's largest customers, the partnership dating back to the early 1970s. Today, Gebr. Heinemann supplies Munich Airport with products for Liquor, Tobacco & Confectionary, Beauty and Accessories, Watches and Jewelery categories in duty free, press and bookstores.

Increased space in the current store will be operated by eurotrade when the new Terminal 1 pier opens. eurotrade and Gebr. Heinemann are already working closely together on the assortment planning of the new 1.700 square meters Duty Free store.

Besides the supply relations, Gebr. Heinemann and eurotrade also cooperate on the shop floor level where Gebr. Heinemann supports sales and consultancy via its 100% subsidiary Beauty Consultant GmbH with more than 50 employees.


At the signing of the contract, Florian Seidel, Chief Sales Officer at Gebr. Heinemann, said, “We have enjoyed a long partnership with eurotrade based on trust and shared values. Together, we have achieved a lot in the past 50 years. We see potential for the future to expand our service portfolio and create synergies to enable eurotrade to bring the best shopping experience to their customers at the first five-star airport in Europe. At the same time, we at Gebr. Heinemann want to further expand our share of supply by exploiting growth opportunities together with eurotrade and we are paving the way for this with the extended supply contract.”

Sven Zahn, Managing Director eurotrade Flughafen München Handels-GmbH, added, “We have enjoyed an exceptionally long and stable partnership with Gebr. Heinemann. On the occasion of the new contract, we are optimistic about further expanding our partnership and developing innovative solutions for our customers in the future.”
