About Scholten Wholesale Business

Since 1922 the family business Scholten Horecagroothandel has been engaged in the sale and delivery of beverages and does so through its wholesale and liquor store for both businesses and private customers. Over the years, the assortment has been enriched with food/non-food products. The wholesaler focuses on supplying catering businesses in the province of North Holland, above the North Sea Canal and the Haarlem region. Scholten Horecagroothandel is characterized by its excellent service and finely-meshed shipping.

About HorInCo

With Gerstengel, the Man of Drank and HCA from Amsterdam, the Horeca Koop Collectief comprises three catering wholesalers operating in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Flevoland. The businesses have been supplying beverages, food and non-food to the hospitality industry for decades and are passionate about providing a high level of service to their customers.

By joining the Horeca Purchasing Collective, Scholten Horecagroothandel has made a beautiful step towards a sustainable future in a hectic world of catering wholesalers. In doing so, the next generation of Scholten will remain active within the company. Scholten remains a local player, a real family business that has existed for almost 100 years, but from now on can also use the knowledge of sister companies in the same industry. This allows Scholten to continue to develop while remaining itself. For HorInCo, the partnership means an important strengthening of its position with the North Holland region and access to almost a century of proven knowledge and experience in the industry.
