HANOS Acquires Jansen Foodservice and Horeca Groothandel Tilburg

HANOS Internationale Horeca Groothandel, a leading Dutch family-owned horeca wholesaler based in Apeldoorn, has acquired Jansen Foodservice, Jansen Foodservice AGF, and Horeca Groothandel Tilburg. The transaction, announced on June 3, 2026, brings together two established family businesses with over a century of combined experience in the foodservice sector.

While the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, HANOS has acquired 100% ownership of the target companies, which operate primarily in the regions of Gelderland, Overijssel, and the southern Netherlands. The acquisition aligns with HANOS’s growth strategy to strengthen its market position in both the Netherlands and Belgium.

Jansen Foodservice and its affiliated entities have developed a strong regional presence, serving horeca, catering, recreation businesses, sports canteens, and small-scale retail customers. Horeca Groothandel Tilburg complements this with a solid foothold in food and non-food supply to entrepreneurs in southern Netherlands.

HANOS emphasizes that the acquisition will not alter the customer approach; both organizations will continue to prioritize personal attention, entrepreneurship, flexibility, and a strong service focus. Customers will benefit from access to a broader product assortment, enhanced expertise, and an expanded network of specialists.

The deal reflects ongoing consolidation trends in the horeca wholesale market, where scale, logistics capabilities, and specialist knowledge are increasingly critical. By combining operations, HANOS aims to deliver a more comprehensive offering, including daily deliveries and tailored solutions, thereby improving customer support and operational efficiency.

Strategically, the acquisition enables HANOS to expand its geographic reach into key Dutch regions and enhance its product portfolio, particularly through Jansen Foodservice AGF’s specialist expertise. The integration is expected to generate synergies through cross-selling, improved procurement terms, and streamlined logistics.

HANOS acknowledges integration challenges, including aligning the cultures of two family-owned businesses and maintaining personalized service during the transition. The company plans to leverage shared values as a foundation for successful collaboration and continued growth.

In the broader market context, HANOS’s expanded scale and enhanced service capabilities may intensify competitive pressures, potentially accelerating consolidation among other players. Competitors might respond with their own mergers or increased investments in logistics and customer service.

Looking ahead, HANOS intends to focus on seamless integration and operational continuity while capitalizing on new market opportunities. The acquisition positions HANOS to reinforce its leadership in the Dutch and Belgian horeca wholesale sectors amid evolving industry dynamics.
