As one of the leading wholesale delivery companies, CHEFS CULINAR supplies customers from restaurants, hotels and communal catering daily.
 
In doing so, the company acts not just as a simple food wholesaler with a comprehensive food and non-food range, but also sees itself as a service provider for advice, consulting, software and training.
 
With eight subsidiaries and 23 support points, CHEFS CULINAR is represented throughout Germany, but is nevertheless so regional that there is always a contact person nearby. This proximity creates the basis for a close and trusting business relationship.
