Kooperativa Forbundet Group
 PROFILE
Kooperativa Forbundet (KF) is a smorgasbord of Swedish retailers. The organization, also known as the Swedish Cooperative Union, is owned by about 80 cooperative societies. KF's member societies operate more than 1,300 hypermarkets (under such banners as Obs!, B&W, Robin Hood), clothing stores (KappAhl), and discount stores (Prix). KF also is involved in bookselling (through bookstore Akadenibokhandeln) and book publishing (P.A. Norstedt & Söner). Though KF has a long history in industrial and wholesaling operations (such as a meat company, a bakery, and a flour mill), it has sold off several food production subsidiaries to focus on retailing.
