Channel Integration Sligro operates both foodretail and foodservice channels in the Netherlands, creating cross-selling opportunities to EMTÉ retailers and horeca customers through a unified wholesale platform.

Institutional Focus The Van Hoeckel unit’s specialization in the institutional market provides a ready channel for large-quantity procurement contracts and tailored service offerings to corporate cafeterias and public institutions.

Operator Partnerships With around 30 EMTÉ stores run by independent entrepreneurs, there is an opportunity to co-create localized promotions and private-label assortments that align with operator needs and local demand.

Logistics Network A nationwide network of self-service and delivery wholesalers underpins reliable delivery to horeca, caterers, and SMBs, enabling partnerships for vendor programs, promotions, and streamlined procurement.

Growth Readiness As a mid-sized wholesale group, Sligro has the scale to pursue strategic partnerships, digital procurement tools, and co-marketing campaigns that can accelerate sales across both channels.
