Entegra acquires CHR-HA, a purchasing organization for independent hospitality businesses in France

Paris, 13 January 2022 – Entegra, a Sodexo subsidiary and expert in procurement solutions and cost optimization for the hospitality business, is expanding its service offering and its client base in France by acquiring CHR-HA, a group purchasing organization for independent hotels and restaurants.

With the acquisition of CHR-HA, Entegra is expanding its offering and supplier-partnerships to serve a wider client base and accelerate its growth towards becoming the leader in procurement and hospitality performance in France.

A major reference partner in France with close to 2,400 members, CHR-HA is one of the key players in sourcing and procurement for cafés, hotels, restaurants, and snacking facilities. This acquisition will combine CHR-HA’s expertise of servicing independent individual units with that of Entegra’s historically servicing groups of restaurants or hotels. This operation will also expand Entegra’s catalogue of food and non-food products and reinforce its geographical footprint in Europe.

As one of the world leaders with buying power of over 20 billion euros and an unparalleled geographical presence (United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, France, United States and Canada), Entegra provides its clients with a complete range of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) in food purchasing (including fresh products, delicatessen, beverages) and non-food (from maintenance and hygiene, to equipment and supplies), as well as services provided by Entegra or by partners (building maintenance, energy, laundry).
