Broich Catering

What Broich Catering does

BHG.BroichCatering GmbH (Branding: BROICH.CATERING) is a German premium event-catering and hospitality group headquartered at Areal Böhler in Meerbusch/Düsseldorf with around 200 employees. The company operates four core service lines: EVENT.CATERING (B2B galas, corporate functions, private celebrations), SCHUL&KITA (recurring daily meal delivery to roughly 5,000 children via the BIO.LOGISCH 100% organic and DGE-compliant concepts), SPORTS.HOSPITALITY (VIP and stadium catering for Borussia Mönchengladbach at Borussia-Park, Tour de France Grand Départ Düsseldorf, BORA hansgrohe cycling, ARAG World Team Cup tennis, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Alemannia Aachen, and DEG Düsseldorf Eishockey), and FOOD.KONZEPTE, a portfolio of 10 proprietary food concepts (Traiteur Carl 18.91, FrittenDog, Täglich Brot, IL Pastaio, All Over Pokè, Bakers&Butchers, Unicolour, Pure Five, Taste&Fly, You Can Eat All).

The go-to-market is multi-channel: direct sales through owned venues at Areal Böhler (six locations including Schmiedehalle, Kaltstahlhalle, Altes Kesselhaus), autonomous operations at the World Conference Center Bonn for events up to 7,000 attendees, exclusive catering partnerships at Capitol Theater Düsseldorf, Classic Remise Düsseldorf, and Borussia-Park, and a channel-partner model via subsidiary brands FOODPOL.CATERING (exclusive event concepts), NENI.CATERING (Levantine sharing cuisine), and KANBI.CATERING (halal, since 2019). The parent-level holding BHG.INVEST GMBH (formerly FBV Beteiligungs GmbH, renamed 2020) holds stakes in 13 companies and startups including Culinaria Gastronomie and Rheingedeck. Revenue is generated primarily from professional-services event contracts and from per-meal subscription pricing for school/daycare catering; pricing is custom-quoted and not publicly disclosed. The technology stack is non-software: culinary delivery, kitchen logistics, and on-site service execution, with no proprietary platform disclosed.

Ownership is concentrated: founders Georg W. Broich (fourth-generation, in role since 1987) and Burkhard Schmitz bought back external investor VIBRO's stake in 2012 and continue to co-lead the business with managing directors Claus Meinen and Lars Wessel, commercial director Nicola Schillings, and a network of regional and functional heads. Operating geographies cover Rhein.Ruhr (Düsseldorf, Mönchengladbach), Köln.Bonn, with stated national and selective international reach.
