Meet the Buyer x STACH
Our Meet the Buyer sessions are designed to connect passionate food entrepreneurs with potential customers, buyers, and/or category managers. Monthly, we invite buyers from all different categories of the food scene, like supermarkets, online retailers, hotel chains, wholesale, restaurant owners, etc. These sessions offer exclusive sales opportunities, feedback, and/or professional connections that you won't get anywhere else. In this session, we welcome STACH!
About STACH
Deli meets café meets restaurant: Every STACH shop has all you need to comfortably get through a busy day. From your first coffee to a quick lunch, or picking up your meal for dinner at home, STACH is there for every moment. You'll find high-quality, ready-made dishes and tasty treats, for take-away or to enjoy on the spot. In short: STACH knows what delicious is! For more than 12 years, STACH has known - first in Amsterdam and now from Groningen to Maastricht - what tasty and convenient food means, all day long.
Requirements STACH
They're open to being surprised but they're particularly interested in suppliers with products that lean more toward the deli assortment. Their focus is more on ready-to-sell store products, like dips, snacks or a high-quality pasta brand. That said, they remain open-minded and are excited to discover something new & distinctive.
