Revenue for Sligro Food Group N.V. for 2024 came in at €2,890 million
Veghel, 7 January 2025
Revenue for Sligro Food Group N.V. for 2024 came in at €2,890 million, an increase of 1.1% compared to the €2,859 million in revenue in 2023. The revenue increase was entirely organic.
Total revenue breaks down by segment as follows:
In the Netherlands, revenue was up by 2.6% (Q4: increase of 4.6%). The impact of the tobacco revenue was significant this year, although the impact decreased slightly in the fourth quarter. Excluding the tobacco, the revenue in the Netherlands increased by 0.4% (Q4: increase of 3.2%).
The tobacco revenue this year was €267 million (Q4: €63 million). The share of tobacco in our revenue increased this year, coming in at 9.2% of the total revenue compared to 7.4% in 2023. As of 2025 we will no longer sell any tobacco.
In Belgium, the decrease in revenue amounted to 7.8% (Q4: decrease of 7.8%). As anticipated, revenue remained below last year’s level in the fourth quarter compared to prior year, but we have observed an improving trend since the third quarter and a narrowing gap compared to previous year.
This press release on revenue has not been audited.
Sligro Food Group will publish its full annual results and annual report for 2024 prior to the opening of the stock exchange on 27 March 2025.

Trading update third quarter 2024
Sligro Food Group N.V. generated €730 million in revenue over the third quarter of 2024, up €25 million or 3.5% on the revenue of €705 million posted in the third quarter of 2023.
In the Netherlands, we saw revenue development recover in the third quarter. After a mediocre second quarter, conditions were more favourable in the third. Revenue development was also driven by the increase in tobacco sales on the back of the shift from the retail to the petrol channel due to a change in tobacco legislation.
In Belgium, it looks as though the greatest impact of revenue losses due to all the changes we have implemented is now behind us. Over the past quarters, hard work has gone into setting up an IT platform and logistics infrastructure in Belgium to be able to offer our customers there, like in the Netherlands, the benefits of an integrated and nationwide delivery network. This was a major programme that involved some temporary inconvenience for our customers. We now have the foundation in place for professional and efficient operations, which will benefit both our customers and Sligro itself, making this a key milestone. As the third quarter progressed, the revenue drop compared to last year levelled out and we returned to attracting new customers. While we reached that point later than expected, we are pleased to see these first signs of recovery.

Successful fourth edition 'Together towards sustainability'
ZiN Inspiratielab was all about sustainability on November 23rd. 123 food professionals attended the fourth edition of 'Together towards sustainability'. A day full of new insights, interesting meet-ups and tasty and sustainable innovations.
The day was opened by Dries Bögels, CCO of Sligro Food Group. He talked about the importance of sustainability within foodservice and the choices Sligro Food Group makes in this regard. He also introduced the first plastic-free coffee cup during the event. This plastic-free disposable cup meets the requirements of the SUP legislation.
The keynote speaker of the day was Kees-Willem Rademakers, lecturer and researcher in logistics at the Hogeschool of Amsterdam. He took the audience through his vision of logistics in food service. He is convinced that logistics is at the core of keeping people in urban regions fed in the future and improving livability.
After the keynote, food professionals participated in several master classes. Participants were able to ask questions about SUP legislation, be prepared for the hard work of CSRD, or taste Primitive Dutch dishes from the chef. There was also an exclusive master class, led by Lucas Simons, that got you started on understanding and tackling large, complex sustainability challenges.
After the master classes, it was time to walk around the XL Meet&Greet plaza in the self-serve wholesale food court. Almost thirty suppliers were ready to provide the food professionals with a vegan bitterball, vegan kibbeling or a piece of pure meat.
Finally, Joël Broekaert, restaurant critic and culinary journalist at NRC, closed the day with his views on sustainability. Sustainability does not have to be just vegetarian and organic, but rather relates to beautiful, old artisan traditions. His message was clear: How can we work together to make the world a little bit better?
A beautiful valuable day for 123 food professionals. On to the fifth edition!

According to the jury report: "This is the first time that this title has been won by a manager from the food service channel. The jury was particularly impressed by the way that Mr Slippens has steadily built up his business since 2008, in the face of extremely difficult market conditions. Sligro is as solid as a rock, and easily leads the field in the Dutch food service market, as well as having a strong foothold in Belgium. Sligro is a food service provider with not only a modern, efficient online operation but also a network of wholesalers where entrepreneurs in the food service and catering business can draw inspiration for their customers.”
The following criteria determined the jury’s opinion:
The Food Manager of the Year:
- has worked hard to introduce significant innovations within their own organisation;
- has achieved considerable successes thanks to a clear, long-term strategy;
- has helped their organisation to develop and thrive;
- has deployed their creativity to bring about necessary changes in the food sector;
- is a charismatic leader who clearly stands out from other managers;
- is able to forge excellent ties with other parties in the market.

Sligro awarded certification for environmental management systems
Sligro Food Group Nederland has been awarded the ISO 14001:2015 certificate for the receipt, storage and transport of food and non-food products. When it comes to environmental management systems, ISO 14001:2015 is the international standard.
ISO standard 14001:2015 is geared towards managing and improving environmental performance, both internally within the organisation and across the entire supply chain. The aim is to keep on implementing improvements in the area of the environment and sustainable business practices. Certification under this ISO standard is based on an assessment of an organisation’s current environmental policy, environmental aspects relevant to the organisation, the organisation’s energy efficiency with a view to cutting carbon emissions, and measures the organisation is taking to control or reduce carbon emissions.
Larger companies and governments in particular often stipulate certification as a precondition for tendering for their contracts.
Important step forward in Belgium
On Monday 23 October, we successfully opened our new delivery service location in Evergem (Belgium) according to plan. This move means that from now on delivery customers of our wholesale outlet in Antwerp will be supplied from Evergem.
This is an important step forward as Sligro transitions towards the new model for delivery in Belgium, which will see customers of Sligro, Sligro-M and JAVA Foodservice supplied from the nearest delivery service location.
As previously announced during the presentation of the half-year results and confirmed during our trading update of 19 October, we have adjusted the course of our approach to ERP implementation and the management of our Belgian activities. We have started rolling out the same ERP landscape as we are using for Sligro-M, and the opening of the new delivery service location in Evergem is the first step. In the coming months we will also switch the Sligro-ISPC wholesale outlets in Liège and Ghent over to this technology.
