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 get you healthily and comfortably through a busy day. At STACH you'll find fresh and healthy ready-made dishes of high quality for take-away or to eat on the spot. This includes tasty treats to enjoy every now and then without feeling guilty. In short: STACH knows what DELICIOUS is! For more than 12 years, STACH has known - first in Amsterdam and now from Amsterdam to Groningen and Maastricht - what tasty is, for every moment of the day.
Requirements STACH
STACH is continuously on the hunt for innovative, distinctive and colorful brands (Dutch or non-Dutch) that are looking for a springboard for the Dutch market, which can be both products for retail and foodservice. In this session, STACH is specifically looking for new products for the following seasons:
- Products that can be listed in winter (December-January) as in-out and that typically fit the Dutch winter
- Products that can be included in their spring/summer menu from March on; these can be groceries (e.g. bars) and drinks, but also ingredients for the sandwiches, viennoiserie or counter products.
