Service-Bund GmbH & Co. KG

Service-Bund GmbH & Co. KG is the central organisation of a cooperative of approximately 30 medium-sized, family-owned foodservice wholesale companies operating from 39 locations throughout Germany. Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Lübeck, the group serves over 80,000 customers in the gastronomy, hotel and institutional catering sectors with a full-range food assortment featuring high delivery frequency. Unlike corporate wholesale chains, every Service-Bund member is privately owned and deeply rooted in their respective region, offering the personalised service of a local partner combined with the purchasing scale and logistics of a national network. The group maintains its own range of private-label products, a customer magazine and digital ordering app, and organises the Campus for Culinary Friends training events. Service-Bund is a founding member of the European Catering Distributors (ECD) network, enabling access to international supplier partnerships and benchmarking. With over 4,000 employees collectively and a strong digital ordering infrastructure, Service-Bund is Germanys fastest-growing independent foodservice wholesale cooperative, consistently expanding through new member acquisitions while preserving the entrepreneurial culture of each family business.
