JJ Foodservice is stepping up its efforts to secure new acquisitions, targeting opportunities across various foodservice sectors to broaden its scope and strengthen its offering for caterers. The approach is part of the company’s long-term strategy to diversify its product range and deepen its presence in the foodservice market. 

“The success of Gatelands Supplies has demonstrated our ability to execute acquisitions efficiently and deliver value for both new and existing customers,” said Kaan Hendekli, Chief Operating Officer at JJ Foodservice. “We’re actively exploring opportunities with other businesses and are eager to build on this momentum to expand into additional sectors.”

The smooth integration of Gatelands into JJ’s operations last year showcased the company’s ability to improve customer offerings. The acquisition added over 400 authentic Thai products to JJ’s range while retaining 100% of Gatelands’ loyal Thai restaurant customers.

With Gatelands’ customers now benefiting from nationwide coverage and access to JJ’s 3,000+ catering essentials, the acquisition also introduced existing JJ customers to a wider variety of authentic Asian ingredients, enabling them to expand and diversify their menus.

Looking ahead, JJ Foodservice is in discussions with potential partners to drive its acquisition strategy. “We’re focusing on businesses that complement our vision of delivering exceptional quality and service to the foodservice market,” added Hendekli.

“Expanding into new categories and cuisines is key to meeting the evolving needs of our customers. “Our doors are open for any discussions around potential collaborations in the future,” he added.
