B&S Food Netherlands

B&S Food Netherlands operates as a part of the global consumer goods company B&S Group S.A., which has a strong presence in the Netherlands and globally. Founded in 1974, B&S Group focuses primarily on the distribution and wholesale of food, beverages, and luxury goods with a sophisticated network spanning across several countries. The company has its headquarters in Farmsum, Netherlands, and includes several subsidiaries specialized in related sectors such as branded premium fragrances and beauty products distribution (e.g., JTG BV).

B&S Food primarily distributes food and beverage products sourced from leading global brands, targeting distinctive and non-conventional markets such as duty-free channels, government and defence sites, industrial caterers, as well as domestic supermarkets and retailers within the Netherlands and internationally. The company prides itself on its expertise in navigating complex regulatory environments and maintaining strict adherence to international food safety standards, including ISO 22000, ISO 9001, HACCP certifications, and approval by the US Army Public Health Command (USAPHC).

The company operates distribution centers and warehouses in the Netherlands to maximize service efficiency and customer satisfaction, supporting a network of a limited number of physical selling points focused on wholesale and distribution rather than direct retail. B&S Food leverages advanced category management and tailored marketing support, facilitating premium consumer goods' placement in targeted niche markets.

With an estimated turnover in the range of 100 to 200 million euros as of 2024 and employing between 1000 and 4999 people in the Netherlands, B&S Food Netherlands is a significant player in the Dutch FMCG purchasing and distribution landscape. It offers manufacturers and suppliers a reliable platform for brand exposure and expansion into specialty and complex market channels, reinforced by its global reach and local market expertise.

The company is part of the wider B&S Group network that, aside from food distribution, covers beauty, personal care, and liquor segments with complementary capabilities that support integrated consumer goods distribution and marketing solutions.
