Hase GmbH Co. KG

What Hase GmbH Co. KG does

HASE + CO (legal entity: HASE GMBH + CO. KG) is a family-owned German commercial hospitality equipment distributor founded in 1924, headquartered in Osnabrück with a second retail location in Leipzig. The company targets B2B customers exclusively ("Verkauf nur an gewerbliche Kunden"), serving restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés, caterers, bakeries, butchers, and chain/system gastronomy operators across Germany. It does not manufacture proprietary equipment; instead it resells a comprehensive catalog of more than 15 product categories — tableware, glassware, cutlery, bar accessories, kitchen utensils, refrigeration, cooking equipment, dishwashing, hygiene, packaging, and commercial machines — carrying third-party brands such as Rational, WMF, Rosenthal, Spiegelau, Zwiesel, Bonna, Villeroy & Boch, Arcoroc, and Pacojet.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales at unit-based pricing with VAT, plus a free-shipping threshold of €600 net order value. Beyond transactional e-commerce, the model is reinforced by adjacent service revenue streams: an event equipment rental service (Mietservice) routed through partner rentitnow.de, in-house technical repair and maintenance, commercial kitchen planning (Großküchenplanung), training seminars, and coffee systems supplied in partnership with R. Timpe GmbH. Distribution is anchored by a logistics partnership with Otto Korsukéwitz GmbH (Berlin), which both warehouses and ships inventory within 1–3 business days across Germany and hosts the company's e-commerce platform on its CDN infrastructure (korsukewitz.imgbolt.de). The company also operates an eBay shop for second-hand, exhibition, and clearance inventory and a WhatsApp Live Chat support channel.

The firm has no venture capital or private equity backing, no disclosed revenue, no public listing, and no parent or subsidiary entities. It is privately held under a German Kommanditgesellschaft structure, with brand heritage ("100 Jahre" / "Familienunternehmen mit Tradition") positioned as a primary differentiator. Commercial activity is concentrated entirely within Germany, although the website supports eight languages, suggesting modest forward-looking attention to non-domestic buyer segments.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Bartscher GmbH: German commercial kitchen equipment specialist offering cooking, refrigeration, dishwashing and buffet equipment — serves the same HoReCa customer base as HASE + CO and competes for the same equipment budgets, with a stronger own-brand product portfolio.
• Hugentobler Schweizer Kochsysteme: Swiss commercial kitchen equipment distributor with a broad multi-category catalog serving hotels, restaurants and catering — analogous business model in a neighboring market, demonstrating the cross-border expansion template HASE + CO could follow.
• HENDI: Dutch-headquartered supplier of professional kitchen and hospitality equipment, tableware and smallwares to foodservice operators across Europe — directly comparable in product range, target customer (commercial kitchens) and B2B distribution model, though at much larger scale.
• R. Timpe GmbH: German coffee-machine and water-system specialist identified as HASE + CO's strategic coffee partner. Operates in adjacent product categories with overlapping hospitality customers, illustrating how narrow specialist distributors structure their go-to-market in the same segment.
• LTT Group: German commercial hospitality equipment distributor and service provider serving hotels, restaurants and catering — operates a very similar multi-category catalog and B2B e-commerce model to HASE + CO, making it the closest head-to-head competitor in the German market.
• Winterhalter: German commercial dishwashing and warewashing specialist with full service offering — comparable in its combined equipment + service + consumables model targeting the same commercial kitchens that buy from HASE + CO.

Others

• WMF Professional: German manufacturer of professional tableware, cutlery and coffee machines that HASE + CO resells — represents both a key supply relationship and an upstream competitive risk if WMF were to sell direct to HASE + CO's customer base.
• Riedel: Austrian premium glassware manufacturer carried in HASE + CO's Glas category — comparable in targeting professional hospitality buyers for high-end glassware, though Riedel sells direct and through select distributors including HASE + CO.
• Rational AG: German manufacturer of combi steamers featured prominently in HASE + CO's catalog (e.g., iCombi Pro). Same target customers but a manufacturer rather than distributor — illustrates HASE + CO's exposure to manufacturer disintermediation.

Broad incumbents

• METRO AG: Germany-headquartered broadliner wholesaler with a dedicated hospitality/foodservice division (METRO HoReCa). Operates at vastly larger scale than HASE + CO with same commercial end-customers; significant competitive overlap in product range and B2B delivery.
