Since 2012, Spot Buy Center, founded by current CEOs Philippe Van Loock and Tom Ceulemans, has delivered cost-efficient solutions to large, often international, companies for their purchases from non-strategic suppliers, the so-called “tail spend”. Spot Buy Center positions itself as a one-stop shop that takes the entire process off its clients’ hands: from placing orders and digitising purchase invoices to negotiations and complete aftercare. Thanks to far-reaching digitisation of the purchasing and payment process, clients can focus fully on their core business.
In recent years Spot Buy Center achieved strong annual revenue growth of 25% on average, mainly in Belgium, reaching €45 million in 2024.
The buy-out by PE Capital Group together with management, which again holds a 50% stake, is part of an accelerated European “buy & build” strategy focused on neighbouring countries.
