Established B2B gourmet food platform with a strong base in specialty retail and growth potential
Company Description
An established B2B wholesale company specializing in high-quality European delicacies—curated specialties from France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands—is for sale. Over the years, the company has positioned itself as a reliable premium specialty supplier operating outside the traditional food retail sector.
Market Position & Differentiation: Broad base of specialty retailers with approximately 1,200–1,500 customers, including about 300 locations of a well-known wine retail chain. A differentiated premium product range that clearly sets the company apart from the mass market.
Profitability: Stable overall revenue in the range of approximately 5 million EUR over several years, an average gross margin of about 30%, and an adjusted EBIT margin of around 10%. Recurring revenue driven by a loyal customer base.
Scalability: Efficient logistics (warehouse ~2,000 m², delivery usually within two days) and lean structures as a foundation for further growth.
Customer Potential: Significant potential for sales growth—currently without a field sales force. Additional opportunities through new channels (foodservice, B2B online), product line expansion, and international expansion (including Switzerland).
The sale is taking place as part of an orderly succession plan; a structured handover, including the preservation of purchasing and supplier contacts, is planned. Ideal for strategic buyers or investors with expansion ambitions.
