25. Kesko to seek more competitive multi-channel
home and speciality goods trade
In the home and speciality goods trade and the building and home improvement trade, the
importance of e-commerce and online services has greatly increased and the improvement of
competitiveness necessitates major renewal. In response to these requirements, Kesko is
seeking synergies especially in the production of online services and the development of
concepts. At the same time, the planned changes will form a basis to improve profitability and
the organisational structure will be evaluated. Also the combination of the building and home
improvement trade with the home and speciality goods trade, as well as the integration of the
non-food part of the K-citymarket chain, currently part of the home and speciality goods
division, into Kesko Food operations, are planned.
The objective is to offer customers multi-channel building, interior decoration and home and speciality
goods stores and services. The aim of the planned integration of resources is to achieve better
customer satisfaction as well as improved competitiveness and profitability. In Kesko’s food trade, the
annual sales are around €4.4 billion, in the building and home improvement trade around €2.7 billion
and in the home and speciality goods trade around €1.4 billion. As at 30 June 2014, the food trade
employed 4,035 people, the building and home improvement trade 10,520 people and the home and
speciality goods trade 8,111 people.
The changes will be planned in more detail and the required cooperation negotiations will be
conducted during the rest of 2014. The aim in Kesko Group’s reporting is that starting from 1 January
2015, the reportable segments would be the grocery trade, the home improvement and speciality
goods trade, and the car and machinery trade. Kesko will publish comparatives according to the new
reporting structure in the first quarter of 2015.
President Terho Kalliokoski is responsible for the planning concerning the home improvement and
speciality goods trade and President Jorma Rauhala is responsible for the planning concerning the
25 grocery Jukka trade.
