Storskogen acquires A&K-Die Frische Küche
Storskogen has acquired A&K – Die Frische Küche GmbH, a leading ultra-fresh ready meal producer and food-on-wheels distributor for food service institutions. The company has around 150 employees at three locations in North-Rhein-Westfalia and generated EUR 16m in revenues in 2021.
A&K is a leading manufacturer of ultra-fresh ready meals for social and day care institutions, retirement homes, hospitals, schools, and cantinas. Headquartered in Recklinghausen, Germany, A&K’s 100 employees manufacture around 20,000 meals per day in the cook and chill kitchen with 10 production lines. Via its subsidiary Casino Service, a food-on-wheels company with around 50 employees, A&K’s meals are distributed to various institutions as well as households in the vicinity of its two locations in Wuppertal and Alsdorf. Due to its highly efficient production and distribution set-up, high service approach, and the sustainability focus through its regional farm-to-table procurement, the company has positioned itself as supplier of choice for the leading food service institutions in the region.
