History
[edit]Created in 1962,[5] Conad is a cooperative system of entrepreneurs, dealing in large-scale distribution. It is structured on three levels: entrepreneur members (owners of retail outlets), cooperatives (large shopping and distribution centres), and the national consortium (a service and market-oriented body for member companies).[6]
Since 9 May 2023, Mauro Lusetti has been the President of Conad. The Director General is Francesco Avanzini.[7]
