Elior Group (Euronext Paris – ISIN: FR 0011950732), one of the world’s leading operators in
catering and support services, strengthens its presence in North America and confirms
its development strategy in India, thus adding impetus to the Group’s turnaround.
Elior North America announces the acquisition of Cater To You Food Service, which enlarges
its foothold in the Education market as well as its presence on the East Coast of the United
States. In addition, Elior Group reaffirms its presence in India, with renewed focus on the
premium Business & Industry market, offering strong potential for development.
These strategic areas of development attest to Elior Group’s international ambitions. The
Group will continue to draw on its expertise and commitment to excellence in order to meet
the diverse needs of its clients around the world.
Elior Group Chairman and CEO Daniel Derichebourg commented: “I am pleased to reaffirm
Elior Group's strong international potential for development. The acquisition of Cater To You
in the United States, whose moderate cost is not out of step with the priority given by the
Group to deleveraging, increases our long-term organic growth prospects in this country.
Our presence in India, now with a new focus on the premium B&I market, offers strong
potential for profitable growth. These two areas of development will thus contribute to
accelerating the Group's turnaround, over and above the measures already well underway for
restructuring our contract catering business in France and extracting synergies involved in
the integration of Derichebourg Multiservices.”
Cater To You Food Service joins Elior North America
Elior North America announces the acquisition of Cater To You Food Service, a company
known for its premium catering in the New York metropolitan area. Cater To You Food Service
serves more than 14,000 students daily in private schools across Greater New York (including
New Jersey), providing exceptional food services thanks to a team of highly talented chefs.
This acquisition strengthens Elior Group's presence in the American Education market and
complements its existing brand portfolio: K-12 by Elior, Lexington Independents, and Aladdin
Campus Dining. It also increases Elior Group's foothold on the East Coast, where it is already
present in the Business & Industry market with Constellation Culinary Group and Abigail
Kirsch.
Once integrated into Elior North America, Cater To You Food Service will contribute to
securing Elior Group's strong long-term organic growth potential in North America.
Elior Group reaffirms its presence in India
In August 2023, Daniel Derichebourg, Chairman and CEO of Elior Group, visited the teams at
Elior India, the leader in premium corporate catering in India. Elior India has more than 1,700
employees and serves 50,000 meals daily. This visit reflects the Group's determination to
accelerate its development in this segment of the Indian market, which offers significant
growth potential.
India is a dynamic and promising market, and Elior Group aims to strengthen its presence in
key cities such as Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi while expanding its activities to
cities such as Hyderabad and Pune. The aim is to meet the growing needs of businesses and
organisations for quality food service in order to become one of the leading players in the
premium contract catering market in India.
