The Handelshof Group operates 18 cash-and-carry stores in Germany in North Rhine-Westphalia, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and in the greater Hamburg area. The offer of the Handelshof markets is aimed at the catering trade, hotel industry, communal catering, trade, independent entrepreneurs and freelancers .
Handelshof customers can purchase their goods from the 18 stores as well as from wholesale suppliers. For this purpose, the provider operates its own delivery logistics with refrigerated trucks that deliver large orders to the house. The company employs around 2500 people.
On February 15, 2019, Edeka Foodservice took over the Handelshof Group with retroactive effect from January 1, 2019. The Federal Cartel Office approved the takeover in July 2019.
Corporate structure
The activities of the Handelshof Group are controlled by Handelshof Management-GmbH, based in Cologne-Porz . Here the company has concentrated central functional areas such as purchasing, marketing, IT and management.
It often happens that companies of the Handelshof Group Cologne are confused with other retail stores that do not belong to the Handelshof Group. Handelshof is a word that comes from the German vocabulary and can therefore only be legally protected regionally.
history
The history of the Handelshof Group goes back to 1959: The two companies Franz Willick Kaffeegroßrösterei (founded in 1841) and A. Himmelreich (founded in 1897), who are still shareholders of the group, took a stake in the Handelshof in Haan (Düsseldorf ), one of the first cash and carry stores in Germany. Two years later, with the opening of the Handelshof in Cologne-Poll, the Handelshof Group was born.
