What Transgourmet does

Transgourmet is a French B2B food wholesaler and subsidiary of the European Transgourmet Holding group, distributing fresh, frozen, and ambient food products to restaurants, artisan bakeries and pastry shops, collective catering operators, and hotels across France. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Valenton, the company operates through a multi-channel go-to-market combining a direct field-sales force, telephone sales, an e-commerce website (e-Gourmet), a mobile application with 24/7 ordering, and physical Cash & Carry wholesale stores, serving an order book skewed toward SMB and mid-market professional buyers via tiered volume discounts.

The platform rests on a tri-temperature logistics network of 823 trucks and 45 warehouses/platforms that delivers mixed-temperature product categories in a single shipment within 24 hours, six days per week. The offering spans over 30,000 SKUs across fresh, frozen, ambient, and hygiene categories, supplemented by proprietary B2B brands (Transgourmet Natura for organic, Transgourmet Origine for traceable sourcing, Legave since 1924 in bakery-pastry, and Premium/Quality/Economy tiers), specialized subsidiaries (Seafood with a Rungis processing workshop, Fruits & Légumes, Export, Cash & Carry, Solutions), and workflow modules (e-Quilibre menu management, Smart Cuisine HACCP compliance, Académie training). Procurement is anchored by an exclusive partnership with Beauvallet (since 1991) for meat and direct sourcing from approximately 1,400 French livestock farmers.

Transgourmet makes money through transactional product resale to professional food service buyers, with revenue streams from delivered distribution and Cash & Carry self-service wholesale. Pricing is transaction-based with automatic volume discounts (3% above €600, 4% above €800, 5% above €1,000) and a 10% first-order welcome incentive. The customer base is diversified across four vertical segments with no disclosed enterprise concentration. Strategic emphasis is on broadening monetization through service modules (PROMO! discounted stock offering, HYP urban hyper-delivery, Conciergerie in Paris) and sustainability positioning (Ecotable, Bleu Blanc Coeur, Transgourmet Natura/Origine).
