We take care of 20 pallets as well as 20,000 in our 200,000 m3 cold storage facility. Our storage and processing capacity also gives us the flexibility to absorb changes in your volumes week after week (consumer seasonality, one-off operations).
A range of services at -20°C
It is not enough for us to bring you excellence in cold storage. It’s the integration of many services around that meets your distribution issues with maximum added value and flexibility. For example, our -20°C docks allow large-scale cross-docking of your frozen goods. Our refrigerated workshops bring you the ability to quickly set up co-packing operations or any other repackaging.

The systematic quality controls, the care given to your goods and their tracking, for example, allow us extremely high quality rates that make us proud but especially contribute to your profit.
