Bunzl acquired Caterline Catering Equipment, a commercial catering supplier operating in Ireland and Northern Ireland, which generated €6m in revenue in 2024, stating the deal complements its existing catering operations in the region.

The FTSE 100-listed firm also acquired Anta y Jesús, a regional distributor of cleaning and hygiene products based in northwest Spain, which also delivered €6m in annual revenue. Bunzl said the acquisition enhances its geographical reach and supports its broader national offering, alongside other recent deals.

Chief executive Frank van Zanten said: "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.

"These are good examples of the significant opportunities we see for continued acquisition growth in our existing markets. Our acquisition pipeline remains active."
