Chilled logistics

Can you imagine what chilled logistics means? You might not be entirely sure, but chances are you've already benefited from it at some point in your life. In simple terms, chilled logistics ensures that temperature-sensitive products, such as food, reach you as the end customer on time and in optimal condition.</p>

Our services in chilled and frozen logistics

Transporting chilled products is a demanding discipline that requires a precise approach and specialized temperature-control technologies. Only this way is it possible to preserve freshness, integrity, and safety of chilled goods, whether food or pharmaceuticals.

Transport of chilled and frozen goods

Transporting chilled goods is one of our specialties. We ensure that chilled and frozen goods arrive at their destination in optimal condition, meeting standards for food safety and other temperature-sensitive products, helping to preserve their integrity. 

Storage in controlled temperature conditions

We pay careful attention not only during transport but also when storing goods, ensuring that chilled products are maintained at the required temperature. Our distribution centers have capacities for storage of chilled, frozen, and dry goods in the range of temperatures from +25 °C to -25 °C. 

At the same time, we also provide cross-docking services, which are frequently used precisely for chilled goods. Products requiring quick processing and dispatch to their final destination are therefore not stored in warehouse facilities. We simply transfer them from vehicles delivering the goods to us directly into vehicles transporting them onward. 

Food distribution

We have extensive experience with food transport and distribution to shops and restaurants. We know that speed and efficiency matter most, and we always deliver the products on time and in top quality.

Technology and equipment

In chilled logistics, details matter—and often human efforts alone aren't enough. Therefore, we use the latest technologies and specially equipped refrigerated vehicles to help us continuously monitor and regulate temperatures, maintaining them constantly at optimal levels.

Modern refrigerated vehicles

From our warehouse to the final destination, we keep chilled products at the required temperatures thanks to cutting-edge refrigeration technologies in our vehicles. Among other features, our fleet is equipped with partitions to divide temperature zones, allowing efficient transportation of products requiring different temperature settings within one vehicle.

Advanced monitoring systems

Our vehicles are equipped with advanced telematics systems, allowing us to monitor conditions in real-time throughout transport and intervene promptly if the temperature in the cargo area changes. This enables us to guarantee that even the most sensitive goods, such as food, are transported under perfect conditions.

Eco-friendly cooling technologies

A focus on sustainability and ecological solutions is, in our opinion, an integral part of modern logistics. Therefore, even when storing and transporting chilled goods, we strive to minimize our environmental impact. We achieve this by utilizing solar energy in our logistics centers, energy-efficient systems to optimize energy consumption, and reducing CO2 emissions from our refrigerated vehicles.

Benefits of cooperating with us

There are many companies offering logistics services in Central and Eastern Europe. Clients who require high-quality and comprehensive solutions, however, choose us—whether they're large players like P&G, Tesco, Lindt, Ahold, Mondelez, and Haribo, or small and medium-sized enterprises seeking a reliable partner for their business growth. What exactly are the advantages of cooperating with us?

Reliability and precision of deliveries

We guarantee that your goods will arrive at their destination on time and in the required condition. We use modern monitoring systems, providing us with continuous real-time visibility of where your shipment is and under what conditions it travels. This—in combination with our many years of experience in logistics—allows us to effectively plan, optimize routes, and flexibly respond to unexpected situations.

Flexibility and customization to client needs

We fully understand that each client has specific requirements, and we know how to adapt to them. We are ready to store goods in various types of controlled conditions and temperatures, handle both small and large orders, offer a range of value-added services, and gladly take care of complete e-commerce solutions for both B2B and B2C. 

Experienced team of professionals

The success of our company and the high quality of our services are primarily thanks to our people and their expertise. From company management through operational managers to warehouse staff at our distribution centers—each team member is an integral part of the puzzle that allows us to provide reliable comprehensive solutions, not only in the area of chilled logistics.

Areas of operation

Chilled logistics is a very important and highly specific area of our business—and not everyone can accurately imagine what it involves. Without controlled-temperature storage and transport, industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics could not function properly.

Food industry

In the food industry, preserving the quality and freshness of goods is absolutely crucial. That's why we have been a long-term partner for many companies operating specifically in the food sector. Thanks to our modern refrigerated vehicles and storage facilities with controlled temperature conditions, we ensure that products such as dairy, meat, fruit, or vegetables remain fresh and safe for consumption throughout the entire logistics process. 

Certifications and quality standards

At HOPI Logistics, we always put maximum emphasis on the quality and safety of our services. Our commitment to maintaining the highest industry standards and ensuring quality, not only in chilled logistics, is proven by the numerous certifications we hold.

Through this system, we effectively identify and minimize risks related to the storage, transport, and handling of food, guaranteeing their quality and complete hygiene during the entire time they are in our care.
