Partnership in Austria

The Austrian Bauprofi stores are in future to procure their hardware and tools from 3e Handels und Dienstleistungs AG, a hardware merchant wholesaler. At the end of June 2007 Bauprofi numbered 45 franchise businesses, 23 of them with a sales area below 400 m² in size. The franchisor is DFH, in which the German NBB company and the Austrian Quester family have equal shares.
