What Sofrilog does

Sofrilog is a France-based specialist in temperature-controlled logistics and refrigerated transport, operating 40 cold storage warehouses and 26 transport agency locations nationwide with a fleet of 340 vehicles and approximately 1,450 employees as of mid-2024. The company provides multi-temperature (frozen, fresh, ambient) warehousing, transport, groupage and distribution, vehicle rental with drivers, freight forwarding to 15+ countries, last-mile urban delivery, freezing tunnels, conditioning/co-packing, and food e-commerce fulfillment—addressing distributors, industrial food manufacturers, retailers, restaurants, and wholesalers. The platform combines proprietary operational technology (WMS, TMS, voice picking, real-time temperature and GPS monitoring, EDI/API integration, the WEBFRI client portal) with certified processes (IFS Logistics, HACCP, Organic, OEA, veterinary approval) and a Charte CO2 sustainability commitment.

The group is structured around several operating subsidiaries and acquired brands: OOFRAIS (electric and cargo-bike urban last-mile), SUPPLYFRESH (food e-commerce with multi-temperature options), SOTRALIM (food conditioning and packaging at Dunkerque), EFB (acquired January 2024—20,000 m³ negative cold + 2 freezing tunnels in western France), JETFREEZE (acquired February 2025 from Groupe MOUSSET-JETRANSPORTE—250 employees, 145 vehicles, 7 multi-temperature transport agencies), and TRACE & GO (acquired November 2025—65,000 m³ negative cold storage and a 300 m² conditioning workshop in Puceul, Loire-Atlantique). The company is privately held and family-owned, headquartered in Caen, and led by Directeur Général Rui Pereira.

Revenue is generated on a B2B, quote-based managed services model through long-term enterprise sales targeting food and agribusiness customers—including Aldi, Auchan, Carrefour, Picard, Franprix, Monoprix, Findus, Lactalis, Häagen-Dazs, LDC, Maître CoQ (47-year partner since 1976), Paul, Picard, Socopa, Sodebo, Terrena, Vandemoortele, and Cooperl. Distribution is direct, via field sales and dedicated account management across all French regions, supplemented by client-facing portals. The company's current strategic agenda emphasizes zero-emission cold chain (electric MAN eTGS pilot with Fraikin; Ford/SOFRIGAM Coldway pilot via OOFRAIS), continued M&A-driven scale-up of cold storage and multi-temperature transport capacity, and formalization of ESG positioning through the 2024 RSE Report.
