OMR Podcast - Ulrich Wolters, Unternehmer
The former top manager offers rare insights into the discount empire. Almost everyone in Germany knows Aldi, but little is known about the history of the discount empire. The Albrecht brothers, Theo (Aldi Nord) and Karl (Aldi Süd), were long considered the richest Germans, yet they were virtually invisible in public. One person who was closely connected to Karl Albrecht for many years is Ulrich Wolters. He worked alongside the founder to run the Aldi Süd business for many years, transforming the small supermarket chain into an internationally operating retail heavyweight. In the OMR Podcast, he discusses his career alongside Karl Albrecht, the key decisions that led to success, his doubts about the business models of Shein and Temu, and the potential of his latest retail project, Action.
