As part of its expansion plans to supply top-quality Asian restaurants, JJ Foodservice has officially acquired London wholesaler Gatelands Supplies

With more than two decades of expertise in importing authentic Thai, Chinese, and Japanese goods, JJ says that Gatelands brings a highly skilled team dedicated to support the Asian hospitality sector.

Chief Sales Officer for JJ Foodservice, Baris Kacar, said, “By combining Gatelands’ expertise with our distribution network, we’re reinforcing our commitment to support the Asian restaurant sector.”

Director of Gatelands Supplies, Christopher Christofi, said, “With over 35 years of experience in the hospitality sector, JJ Foodservice stands as a prominent industry leader. Strategically situated across 12 locations, its expanded infrastructure means our customers will benefit from local collection, fast deliveries, and an extensive product range.”

The official acquisition is effective immediately, with the Gatelands team joining the Enfield Branch and more than 300 new Asian products added to the JJ Foodservice range.

The acquisition aligns with JJ Foodservice’s commitment to expand its offering to key segments within the hospitality industry. “We’re dedicated to continually growing our product range and increasing our knowledge and expertise through strategic acquisitions,” said Baris.

“We welcome any interested parties to reach out and explore potential collaborations,” he added.
