About Vermaat Servicekantoor B.V.

Vermaat Groep is a Dutch specialist in premium hospitality and facility services, serving organizations that want tailored food, drink, and workplace experiences. Its clients include businesses, governments, hospitals, schools, museums, airports, and event organizers, and the company emphasizes bespoke solutions rather than one-size-fits-all catering.

Founded in 1978 as a delicatessen shop, Vermaat has grown into a large hospitality operator with more than 10,000 employees. It positions itself as a partner that combines quality, presentation, smooth back-of-house organization, and a strong focus on guest experience, while also investing in healthier, more sustainable, and more social foodservice concepts through its Food Vision 2027 program.

• Hospitality: Vermaat stresses warm, attentive service and a guest-first mindset, aiming to make every location feel distinctive and welcoming.
• Customization: It highlights maatwerk, or tailor-made solutions, adapting concepts to the specific location, audience, and partner needs.
• Sustainability: Through Food Vision 2027, Vermaat aims to make its operations and offerings healthier, more sustainable, and more social, with attention to waste reduction, responsible sourcing, and climate impact.
• Inclusion: The company says it wants an open culture where everyone feels welcome and has a fair chance to work and grow, including people with distance to the labor market.
