Gilles acquires La Cordobesa

Effective September 1, 2024, Gilles will acquire La Cordobesa, a well-established name in Spanish and Italian deli meats. This acquisition represents a significant step for Gilles, expanding its product range to include a wide variety of dry-cured sausages, which has long been a goal for owner Dick Wever. The merger of these two companies offers a broader product selection and new growth opportunities within the Dutch food industry.

Strategic expansion for Gilles

Gilles, already a prominent player in the fresh meat market, has long harbored ambitions to grow further. The acquisition of La Cordobesa aligns perfectly with this strategy. By integrating La Cordobesa's range, Gilles strengthens its position with a complete offering of Spanish and Italian deli meats. This not only broadens the selection but also enhances convenience and synergy for customers, who can now source all their high-quality, artisanal deli products from a single supplier.

Continuity and quality for La Cordobesa customers

For La Cordobesa's customers, very little will change. The trusted quality and product range will remain intact, and Susan de Wette, the current owner of La Cordobesa, will continue to serve as the main point of contact. The primary change relates to logistics: starting September 1, deliveries will be made from Schagen rather than Zaandam. This strategic decision makes the acquisition not only logical but also practical for both companies and their customers.
