A company has inaugurated a new logistics platform in Galdakao, Euskadi, with the aim of strengthening services for the Horeca sector (hotels, restaurants, and catering) and fostering closer collaboration with local suppliers.

The opening of the new logistics platform in Galdakao represents a significant strategic commitment for the company. This initiative seeks to capitalize on the dynamic Horeca channel in Euskadi and the Cantabrian Coast, driven by tourism growth. The company maintains an annual growth rate of between 6% and 8%, with a target of reaching 3 billion euros in sales by 2030.
The company operates three stores in Euskadi, one of which is in Bizkaia, specifically located in Erandio, showing an annual growth of approximately 8%. This center is considered one of the most important at the national level, with projected sales of 92 million euros by the end of 2025. Adopting a strategy tailored to local needs, the Bilbao store offers 7,800 products and collaborates with suppliers from the Euskadi region.
This new platform will enable an improved service level, particularly by reducing the cut-off time for next-day delivery orders. Close collaboration is maintained with local suppliers, predominantly SMEs and farmers, facilitating a more personalized and efficient relationship. Furthermore, it offers small producers the opportunity to expand their services nationwide, depending on their capacity.
The company, acting as a barometer of consumption, believes it is a good indicator of Bizkaia's economy. The Horeca sector, which is the leading market in Europe within the Spanish State, serves 200,000 clients nationally and 18,600 in Euskadi. While fluctuations in inflation and product prices due to oil costs are anticipated, the company remains optimistic, leveraging opportunities presented by tourism growth.

"We don't know where this situation is going, but we will see inflation fluctuations in different products directly impacted by oil prices."

The Galdakao platform is a significant investment, viewed as a tool to strengthen customer loyalty and enhance daily service. The initial focus is on working with existing clients, with new client acquisition planned for later. Service quality is paramount, especially in the hospitality sector, where product availability and quality must be immediate.
