Successful applicants will see their products featured in Aldi’s June 2026 special buy event, with one supplier potentially securing a long-term listing. Producers can submit up to five products for consideration and must be able to supply between 2,000 and 12,000 units. Meeting Aldi’s quality, branding, and packaging standards is essential, and GS1 barcodes and data standards will play a key role in ensuring compliance and smooth supply chain integration.
Applications close at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, 30 January 2026. To apply, visit https://www.aldi.ie/grow, verify your email, and complete the online form. This is a fantastic opportunity for Irish businesses to grow their reach and bring quality local products to more consumers.
For producers aiming to succeed in retail, GS1 standards are essential. Barcodes enable products to be scanned accurately at checkout and throughout the supply chain, while GS1 identifiers ensure your product data is trusted and consistent across all platforms. Retailers rely on these standards for efficiency, compliance, and traceability. By adopting GS1 standards early, small businesses can streamline operations, meet retailer requirements, and build consumer trust through accurate product information.
GS1 Ireland offers support to help producers get retail-ready, from assigning GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers) to ensuring your product data meets marketplace and regulatory needs. For more information, visit https://www.gs1ie.org/tools-services/services/
