**About us**

Subway® is one of the fastest growing Franchise networks in the world and the largest submarine sandwich chain, with more than 41,500 stores more than 4,500 of which are in Europe.

IPC EMEA, (formally IPC Europe), is a non-profit making organisation owned by Subway Franchisees in Europe. The organisation was established in 2001 to enable Subway Franchisees to benefit from the discounts that come from purchasing and supplying products in large volumes. Over time, the breadth of the services we provide, and our geographic reach has grown. Our scope now goes beyond purchasing and supply chain management as we seek to have a positive impact on every Franchisees P&L, wherever possible. We work with service providers to offer Franchisees a range of optional services such as Wi-Fi, energy, pest control and card payments. Our aim is to ensure we select the best providers, offering the best quality services at competitive rates. We also provide a range of in-house support services, value-add initiatives and retail technology solutions for restaurant teams to help with day-to-day operations. Today, IPC EMEA operates on a global, regional, and local level to source high quality products at the best value for Franchisees, managing over £1.5 billion worth of contracts and partnering with other IPCs across the world where it makes sense to do so, to get the best possible service and prices. We remain as focused on our mission today as we did 20 years ago, to help Subway Franchisees be more profitable and competitive today and for the future.
