FS BL has reached almost €1.4bn sales in 2023, targeting €3b sales in 2027. It’s a growth engine, mostly thanks to acquisitions, enlarging our footprint as well as our food expertise. Integrating, identifying best practices and sharing them are key topics. The FS BL is very much involved when it comes to supporting countries in opening FS activities whenever its’ a country opening or the launch of a foodservice activity. The FS BL is also very much involved in supporting the countries in optimizing their LFL business from a top line and bottom-line perspective. Another challenge is to always adapt to the countries specificities as well as to the different F&B segments (from QSR to Table Service) and brands (>100 brands operated, either partner or proprietary ones). Our internal brands are a key asset, mixing strong established brands (such as So Coffee) and growing ones (e.g. Natoo or Beercode).
