Enka Horeca B.V.

What Enka Horeca B.V. does

Enka Horeca B.V. is a privately held Dutch horeca (hospitality) wholesaler headquartered at Schipholweg 309 A, Badhoevedorp, Netherlands, operating as a Besloten Vennootschap (B.V.). The company distributes food and non-food products — beverages, groceries, dairy, and refrigerated items — to restaurants, hotels, cafes, bars, and catering businesses throughout the Netherlands via an in-house delivery fleet running fixed routes six days per week. It is a single-country, single-vertical traditional wholesaler rather than a technology platform.

The company combines a relationship-driven go-to-market model with a thin digital layer. Each customer is assigned a dedicated personal account manager who advises and visits on a recurring basis, supported by an internal back-office team familiar with each customer's needs. Orders can be placed through field sales representatives, a Webshop at shop.app4sales.net/EnkaHorecaEol, or a mobile app via the third-party App4Sales platform. The proprietary technology footprint is limited: ordering infrastructure is largely outsourced to App4Sales, and no proprietary software products, APIs, or AI features are disclosed.

Enka Horeca generates revenue through wholesale product markups on bulk purchases of food and non-food items (a transactional/distribution revenue stream rather than software or licensing). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company markets itself on a "lowest price in the market" positioning alongside quality and personal service. No revenue figures, headcount, funding rounds, ownership structure beyond private status, management team, certifications, or awards are disclosed in the available source material.

Direct peers

• H.M. Brouwer: Dutch foodservice wholesaler focused on HORECA customers with delivery and field sales. Comparable regional competitor to Enka with a similar relationship-led service model.
• Sligro Food Group: Largest Dutch foodservice wholesaler with national cash-and-carry and delivery operations. Directly comparable to Enka as a full-line HORECA supplier serving restaurants, hotels, and catering across the Netherlands.
• Lekkerkerker: Dutch foodservice wholesaler serving hospitality and institutional customers across multiple categories. Comparable to Enka in vertical focus and customer segment within the Dutch HORECA market.
• Hanos: Major Dutch full-line foodservice wholesaler operating cash-and-carry locations and delivery to hospitality operators. Competes with Enka on assortment breadth, pricing, and personal service for the same HORECA customer base.
• Bidfood Netherlands: International foodservice distributor with substantial Dutch operations through the former Deli XL brand. Comparable multi-category HORECA supplier delivering to restaurants, hotels, and catering in the Netherlands.
• Bos Food: Dutch specialty foods wholesaler serving hospitality and catering with an emphasis on fresh and refrigerated products. Comparable to Enka's refrigerated and fresh categories and its HORECA vertical, though with a narrower category emphasis.
• De Kweker: Regional Dutch foodservice wholesaler serving HORECA customers in select provinces. Closely comparable to Enka as a smaller-scale specialist offering food and non-food assortment with delivery and personal account management.

Broad incumbents

• METRO Netherlands: International cash-and-carry and foodservice wholesaler operating in the Netherlands as part of the broader METRO AG portfolio. Competes in HORECA wholesale but at materially larger scale and a wider product scope than Enka.

Others

• App4Sales: B2B ordering platform provider whose technology powers Enka's mobile app and webshop. Not a direct competitor but a key technology enabler; the same shared platform is available to other foodservice wholesalers, limiting Enka's differentiation.
