For its restaurant and catering businesses, the company has to have suitable volumes of fresh produce stored in the vicinity of the restaurant and catering businesses. The company identified improvement potential with regards to its warehousing.

With the aim of improving product quality and reducing food wastage, the company decided to invest in a new warehousing complex for its meat and vegetable storage, which would serve all restaurants and catering facilities in the group.
