Allmed

What Allmed does

Allmed is an Irish freight forwarding company founded in September 2002 by Alan Hoyne and headquartered in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny. The company provides road, sea, and rail groupage, part-load, and full-load freight forwarding between Ireland and continental Europe, with direct weekly or twice-weekly departures to and from Italy, Spain, France, and Portugal, and onward coverage to the rest of Europe (Benelux, Germany, Austria, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe, Greece, and Turkey) through specialist regional partners. Allmed is a pioneer in direct chilled and frozen groupage services between Italy and Ireland, a service established in 2004 under the Allmed Food Logistics sub-brand, and now operates dual-vap refrigerated trailers with multi-temperature capability (+2 to +4°C chilled, -18°C frozen) through a partnership with Stef Group's Western European hub network. The company also offers deep-sea shipping (FCL, LCL, air freight, out-of-gauge cargo) for global markets including China, the USA, and Africa.

The technology stack comprises a customer-facing login portal hosted on AzyraCloud, a multi-language website (English, Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German), and Allmed's stake in Paneco — a pan-European transport network the company co-founded in July 2021 with Kommodus, Cargo24, ABC Business Network, and ELVIS, operating from Zug, Switzerland. Paneco provides a uniform web-based IT platform that integrates local partner systems across more than 500 touchpoints, enabling general cargo and part-load transport to every European country with real-time shipment tracking and uniform processing. Pricing is fully quote-based; no public pricing tiers are disclosed, and revenue is generated through transaction fees on shipment weight, dimensions, quantity, route, and service type, with ancillary revenue from customs clearance and warehousing services.

Allmed serves two primary verticals: Irish food importers and distributors moving chilled and frozen product (dairy, meat, fresh pasta, frozen yogurt) from continental Europe, and manufacturing/industrial importers of ceramic tiles and construction materials from Spain and Italy. Customer concentration risk is moderate; named customers include General Food Importers, ceramic tile distributors serving Home Depot Logistica SL, and a long tail of enterprise and mid-market European trade customers. Repeat-customer economics are reinforced by the absence of minimum order requirements and the direct sea-route model that bypasses the post-Brexit UK land bridge — a structural advantage as Ireland–France sea routes grew from 12 to 45 following Brexit. On 14 August 2024, Allmed was acquired by Virginia International Logistics, backed by MML Growth Capital Partners Ireland, creating a combined Irish logistics group with reported revenues of €70 million.
