About STACKIT

Learn more about Schwarz IT’s digital brand.

Our Company

STACKIT is part of the IT organization within the Schwarz Group, the largest European retail company. This includes Lidl and Kaufland, Schwarz Produktion in food production and PreZero in environmental services.

The group has been on a course of growth for years. Over 13,900 store and warehouse locations in more than 32 countries rely on its smooth IT support for their business processes every day.

This growth, as well as new digital business models, can only be managed in the long term with a dynamically scalable cloud infrastructure. STACKIT was launched in 2018 for this reason – to drive digital transformation within the Schwarz Group through its own high-performance cloud services.

For implementation, STACKIT uses the existing IT resources of Schwarz IT, including its own data centers in Germany.

The Schwarz Group

The Schwarz Group, which includes the Lidl and Kaufland retail chains as well as its own production and recycling divisions, is currently the largest food retailer in Europe with total sales in fiscal 2023 of more than 167.2 billion euros. The group has been on a growth course for years. However, successful expansion can only be achieved in the long term if downstream divisions grow at the same rate and position themselves accordingly.

The Schwarz Group is known in Europe as a high-performance and innovative company that is actively shaping the digital future and thus aims to further expand its market leadership. The group employs around 575,000 people worldwide.

As one of the few trading companies, the Schwarz Group covers the entire value chain – from production and trade to disposal and recycling.
