Constellation Cold Logistics, a leading European provider of cold storage and logistics services, has announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Agri-Norcold A/S.
This transaction marks Constellation’s first foray into the Danish market, further strengthening its European footprint and service offering in the Nordic region for both existing and new customers.
Agri-Norcold, headquartered in Aalborg, Denmark, has been the dominant player in the country’s cold storage industry since its establishment in 1964. The company owns and operates 10 strategically positioned facilities near major food production hubs, import/export points, and major cities, ensuring efficient transportation and logistics flows. Agri-Norcold’s extensive network across Denmark boasts a total of 865,756 m3 of frozen storage, or 266,000 pallet spaces, in addition to significant freezing and packaging infrastructure.
Since 2012, Agri-Norcold has been jointly owned by TA-Logistics and Danish Crown, two prominent players in the industry.
This acquisition allows Constellation Cold Logistics to expand its geographic reach and service capabilities in the Nordic region, further solidifying its position as a leading European cold storage and logistics provider. The combination of Constellation’s expertise and Agri-Norcold’s established presence in the Danish market is expected to create synergies and enhance the company’s ability to serve its customers’ evolving needs.
“The addition of Agri-Norcold to our network opens up strategic opportunities in Denmark and strengthens Constellation’s leading position in the Nordics, where we already enjoy strong partnerships and growth opportunities with our customers in Norway and Sweden,” according to Carlos Rodriguez, Constellation’s CEO.
“Agri-Norcold’s long standing relationship with Danish Crown and several other meat, dairy, seafood and packaged food producers positions the company well for future growth. Denmark is one of the largest net exporters of food products in Europe, and this transaction will allow us to continue to grow with new customers, as well as many others that we already serve across the Constellation network.”
Constellation is Europe’s leading independent cold storage and logistics provider with approximately 700,000 pallet positions of temperature-controlled capacity and a presence across seven European countries, excluding the Agri-Norcold acquisition.
