Landi Schweiz AG is the national purchasing, logistics and marketing company behind the Landi chain of retail stores in Switzerland. The company is majority-owned by the agricultural cooperative Fenaco and forms part of the Fenaco-Landi group.[2][3]

History

In 1979 several regional cooperative associations founded UFA Haus & Garten AG in Bern to coordinate purchasing and retail for “house & garden” goods. Additional eastern-Swiss associations created UFA Haus & Garten Pfungen AG in 1984.[4] The two entities merged in 1988 and relocated operations to Dotzigen in 1989. Partnership agreement with the cooperatives followed in 1991.[5] The company adopted the present name Landi Schweiz AG in 1994, shortly after the creation of the fenaco cooperative in 1993.[6]

From the 2000s Landi expanded centralised logistics in Dotzigen, opening a high-bay warehouse in 2008 and an automated container store in 2014. In 2015 fenaco and ZG Raiffeisen launched the cross-border joint venture LahrLogistics in Lahr to support store deliveries.[7][8]

Landi entered e-commerce in October 2017 with a national online shop.[9][10] In 2020 fenaco tested the Landi retail concept abroad by taking over the Garden Center Plus in Luxembourg City as a pilot; this store closed in late 2023.[11][12] Fenaco and ZG Raiffeisen announced a German retail pilot under the brand Landwelt in 2021. In february 2024 fenaco discontinued the project .[13]
