Genesis Private Equity Fund III, a fund from the private equity group Genesis Capital, exited its majority stake in GTH Catering to the Company's other current shareholders, concluding a successful investment partnership spanning over more than fifteen years. During this period, GTH Catering has grown into the largest provider of corporate catering services in the Czech Republic.
GTH Catering provides comprehensive corporate catering solutions. In addition to operating staff restaurants, the Company offers vending and supplementary retail services, as well as the design and modernization of dining facilities, including technological solutions and equipment. Its customers include the major industrial companies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. GTH Catering also provides services to healthcare institutions and schools. In 2025, the Company's revenues in the Czech Republic reached CZK 2.4 billion.
Genesis Capital's investment story in GTH Catering began in 2010 with the acquisition of the Company from its founder and the merger of GTH Catering with MULTI-Catering activities under the leadership of CEO Daria Choděrová and CFO Tomáš Hubka. This was followed by a period of strong growth in the Czech market driven by the gradual acquisition of new customers. In 2020, GTH Catering expanded into Slovakia through the acquisition of the Slovak operations of the multinational provider Sodexo, establishing its presence in both Slovak corporate catering and facility management service markets. In 2024, the Company secured the largest corporate catering contract in the Czech Republic, and became the leading player in the Czech corporate catering market.
Jan Tauber, founder of Genesis Capital, who was involved in the project from its beginning, highlighted the role of the management team: "In 2010, we placed our trust in the experience and motivation of managers who ultimately succeeded in building GTH Catering into the Czech market leader. I consider Daria Choděrová and Tomáš Hubka to be an exceptional management tandem. This has been the longest partnership between Genesis Capital funds and a single management team to date, and I am very pleased that we were able to be part of this remarkable success story."
"At Genesis Capital, we believe that the combination of a well-thought-out business strategy, capable management and the support of a stable capital partner creates successful companies and compelling investment stories over the long term. With Genesis Capital's support, Daria Choděrová and Tomáš Hubka have built GTH Catering into a key provider of corporate catering services in both the Czech and Slovak markets over the past fifteen years. We highly value the mutual trust, open cooperation with management and the outstanding results achieved. I am convinced that the Company is well positioned for the next stage of its development,” added Tatiana Balkovicová, Partner at Genesis Capital Equity.
Daria Choděrová, CEO of GTH Catering, commented: "Since joining GTH Catering, I have always viewed corporate catering not simply as providing meals, but as delivering a comprehensive service to our clients and their employees. This approach has enabled us to win new customers year after year and build long-term partnerships with them. Genesis Capital provided us with stability, the backing of an experienced investment group and, above all, the trust that helped us achieve our ambitions."
