Scanwic Food Services

What Scanwic Food Services does

Scanwic Food Services is a Netherlands-based supplier and importer of non-alcoholic beverage concepts, proprietary drink mixes, and dispensing equipment for the hospitality industry. The company was founded around 2004 by the Geursen family and remains family-owned and privately held, operating from Hulst in the Netherlands.

The company's core offering combines three pillars: (i) exclusive distribution rights for branded non-alcoholic concepts such as Eraclea, (ii) a portfolio of proprietary in-house brands including Solkys, ISINO, and the more recent Roots of Tea line, and (iii) installed dispensing equipment backed by maintenance and service support. Customer-facing infrastructure includes dedicated account managers, country-specific online ordering portals for the Netherlands and Belgium, and operator-training content distributed through YouTube and QR-coded materials. The product mix is tailored to hotels and resorts, restaurants and cafés, and holiday parks, with named references including international hotel chains such as Holiday Inn Express.

Geographically, Scanwic has expanded from a Dutch home market into Belgium via Scanwic Belgium BV and more recently into Germany, giving it a Benelux-plus-Germany regional footprint. Revenue mechanics mix upfront equipment sales with recurring consumable replenishment and service/maintenance contracts on installed bases — a structure that favors customer retention over transactional volume. The business is bootstrapped, with no external funding rounds disclosed in the available material.
