LONDON: Bunzl plc, the specialist international distribution and services Group, today announces two further acquisitions.
In September, Bunzl completed the acquisition of Caterline Catering Equipment Ltd (“Caterline”), a distributor of commercial catering equipment in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The business complements our existing catering business and generated revenue of EUR 6 million (£5 million) in 2024.
In September, Bunzl also completed the acquisition of Anta y Jesús, S.L.U (“Anta”), a leading regional distributor of cleaning and hygiene products in the northwest of Spain. The business generated revenue of EUR 6 million (£5 million) in 2024 and enhances Bunzl’s cleaning & hygiene geographical reach which, supported by other recent acquisitions, has strengthened our national offering and footprint.

We have welcomed Caterline, a catering business that strongly complements our existing business in Ireland, and Anta, a leading regional cleaning and hygiene distributor that further enhances our sector footprint in Spain. As today’s investor seminar will demonstrate, these are good examples of the significant opportunities we see for continued acquisition growth in our existing markets. Our acquisition pipeline remains active.”
