The aim of the restructuring is to strengthen the company's market position, Kiosk AG announced on Tuesday.
Valora intends to centralize Melisa's press wholesaling operations, previously located in Ticino, at its Muttenz BL site. Book wholesaling will be retained for the time being. However, Valora is examining cooperation with other partners.
The bookstores in Lugano, Locarno and Grancia will continue to operate. However, they will now be assigned to the Valora Retail division. The logistics functions at the Bedano site will also be retained. They will now be assigned to Valora's Logistics division.
Melisa was founded in 1939 as a bookshop to supply Italian war refugees. It has belonged to Valora since 1999.
