Overview
DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft is an Austrian catering and hospitality company headquartered in Vienna. Its business combines large-scale food production and logistics with premium hospitality and event-service capabilities. The company operates across airline catering, rail catering and international events catering, while also maintaining activities through restaurants, bars, lounges and hotels. This combination gives DO & CO a position that extends beyond conventional contract catering: it supplies meals and hospitality environments for transportation operators, while also managing high-profile public and sporting events where presentation, service coordination and logistical reliability are central to the offering. The company has developed a substantial presence in aviation catering. It has handled catering for Austrian Airlines since 2007 and British Airways since 2018. In Turkey, Turkish DO & CO was established in 2007 as a joint venture between DO & CO and Turkish Airlines. The venture operates nine gourmet kitchens in Turkey and supplies more than 60 national and international airlines from those facilities. Turkish Airlines accounts for approximately 85 percent of the venture's sales, and the business also operates Turkish Airlines' business-class lounges. The Turkish operation is therefore both a production platform for airline meals and a hospitality partner for a major international carrier. DO & CO also serves the rail sector. Since 2012, it has provided catering for Austrian Federal Railways, or ÖBB, under the Henry am Zug brand. This activity illustrates the company's expansion from aircraft catering into other passenger-transport environments, where food service must be coordinated with timetables, onboard operations and geographically distributed logistics. Events form another important part of the company's profile. DO & CO provides VIP catering for Formula One races and supplies hospitality and catering services connected with UEFA European Football Championship events. These assignments place the company in premium, time-sensitive environments involving large audiences, corporate guests, athletes, sponsors and broadcast-oriented event infrastructure. The company consequently presents itself not only as a food producer but also as an integrated hospitality operator capable of delivering food, venues and service teams at international events. The group has also pursued consumer-facing and hospitality-related activities. In 2014, it acquired the French grocer Hédiard after that business entered bankruptcy proceedings. In early 2015, DO & CO announced the creation of a joint company with Nespresso to operate Nespresso Cafés. These moves broadened its scope into branded retail and café operations, complementing its transportation and event businesses. DO & CO became a publicly traded company when it was listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in 1998. In February 2018, it co-founded the Airline Catering Association, a Brussels-based industry organization. Through its airline, rail, event, restaurant, lounge and hotel activities, DO & CO's business model is built around premium food service, international operational execution and hospitality experiences delivered in partnership with transport companies, event organizers and consumer brands.
History
DO & CO is an Austrian catering and hospitality group headquartered in Vienna. Its activities span several connected areas: airline catering, rail catering, international event catering, restaurants, bars, lounges and hotels. Rather than operating solely as a supplier of prepared meals, the company combines food production with hospitality management and event execution. This model allows it to work with airlines and rail operators while also serving premium guests at sporting and cultural events. The company became publicly listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in 1998. Its later development included a strong expansion in transport catering. In 2007, DO & CO began handling catering for Austrian Airlines. The same year, it established Turkish DO & CO with Turkish Airlines. The Turkish joint venture operates nine gourmet kitchens in Turkey and supplies more than 60 national and international airlines. Turkish Airlines represents about 85 percent of the venture's sales, and Turkish DO & CO also manages Turkish Airlines' business-class lounges. DO & CO expanded into rail catering in 2012, when it began providing services for Austrian Federal Railways under the Henry am Zug brand. Rail catering requires a different operating model from aviation but similarly depends on centralized preparation, tightly controlled logistics and service delivery within transport schedules. The Henry am Zug activity therefore extended the company's transport-service capabilities beyond airports and aircraft. The group has also developed a prominent event-catering business. It provides VIP catering for Formula One races and hospitality and catering services for UEFA European Football Championship events. Such work places DO & CO in high-visibility environments where the company must coordinate food, staff, guest services and event logistics for international audiences and premium invitees. Its portfolio broadened further through corporate and consumer-facing initiatives. In 2014, DO & CO acquired Hédiard, a French grocery business, after Hédiard entered bankruptcy proceedings. In early 2015, DO & CO announced the creation of a joint company with Nespresso for the operation of Nespresso Cafés. These activities connected the group with branded retail and café hospitality in addition to its established airline, rail and event businesses. In February 2018, DO & CO co-founded the Airline Catering Association, based in Brussels. The initiative reflected the company's role in the international airline-catering sector and its interest in industry coordination. The available reference material does not establish a complete account of later ownership, executive leadership, financial performance or current market-by-market operations.
