Founded in 1991 by Aspiag AG (Austria Spar International AG), a SPAR Austria company, Aspiag Service Ltd. is the largest of the companies that currently make up the Consorzio Despar Italia.
Our company operates in north-eastern Italy, where the Despar brand has a long tradition and a strong presence.
Three Distribution Centres (DCs), based in Bolzano, Mestrino (Province of Padua) and Udine, form the basis of the company’s structure.
The DCs oversee all directly operated and affiliated Aspiag retail outlets – Despar, Eurospar and Interspar.
The strong, well-established ties between the DCs and the region represent an essential asset for the company and a valuable assurance for consumers.
Nine distribution facilities supply the retail outlets with products on a regular daily basis. These facilities are organized and managed using the most advanced methods and equipment, allowing the company to offer consumers a large variety of fresh Despar products every day.
Aspiag Service also owns and manages three shopping centres in the Province of Padua: “Le Brentelle” in Sarmeola di Rubano, “Ipercity” in Albignasego and “Extense” in Este.
