Press release March 4, 2024
Acquisition of Frigoscandia by Dachser is completed
The competition authorities have now approved the acquisition of Frigoscandia AB and all its subsidiaries by the global logistics service provider Dachser. Together with its new owner, Frigoscandia will continue the expansion of reliable and high-quality logistics solutions for food, both in the Nordic region and across Europe.
Since 2019, Frigoscandia has been a partner to the European Food Network for temperature-controlled groupage transportation in Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Dachser is systems leader in this network of European Food Logistics companies covering 34 countries. Through the acquisition of Frigoscandia, Dachser further strengthens its position in logistics for both chilled and frozen food in Europe. The acquisition creates new opportunities for enhancing the existing collaboration, where Frigoscandia’s strong network in the Nordic region is connected to the Dachser Food Logistics network.
“The acquisition and subsequent integration of Frigoscandia is a milestone for us on our way to becoming a top player in the European food market,” says Alexander Tonn, COO Road Logistics and Managing Director Dachser Food Logistics at Dachser. “With Frigo-scandia, we are integrating a renowned food logistics company that fully shares our understanding of performance and quality. For our customers in Northern Europe and Europe, this means even better access to a food distribution network where quality and reliability are paramount,” adds Alexander Tonn.
“We look forward to becoming part of the Dachser family. Combining our two networks will create added value for our customers, both in terms of service offerings in different temperature zones, and broader geographic coverage. Now, the work starts to create synergies to strengthen our customers’ competitiveness through more efficient logistics, with the goal of becoming the ‘world’s most integrated logistics service provider,'” says Peter Haveneth, CEO of Frigoscandia AB.
