Aldi’s British stores are part of the ALDI SÜD Group. The UK accounts name Austrian partnership Aldi Süd KG as the immediate parent and ultimate controlling party. International group coordination is based in Salzburg. [1][2]
01 / Behind the name
Who owns Aldi?
Private UK company · Austrian partnership parent [1]
This follows the legal parent disclosed in note 25, whose directors report no further controlling party. ALDI SÜD and ALDI Nord are separate groups. Salzburg is the international coordination location; Aldi’s German national business is based in Mülheim an der Ruhr. [1][2][3]
Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.
