Eurofrost

What Eurofrost does

Eurofrost CB a.s. is a family-owned Czech cold chain logistics company founded in 2002 and operating under the EF Holdingová s.r.o. holding structure. The company provides warehousing and distribution services for frozen and chilled food products, with a total capacity exceeding 30,000 pallet positions for frozen goods at -20°C and 6,000+ pallet positions for chilled goods, positioning it as the #2 player in Czech frozen storage capacity. Operations span three owned facilities — Úžice u Prahy near the D8 highway (23,000 frozen + 2,000 chilled pallets, expanded most recently in 2019), Litovel/Unčovice on the D35 corridor (4,500 frozen + 3,500 chilled, opened August 2022), and České Budějovice/Rudolfov (2,400 pallets, the original 2002 site) — plus a rented fruit and vegetable cold store at Vítov u Slaného. A new 10,000 m² chilled warehouse was placed in trial operation in Úžice in 2025.

The technical platform combines eco-friendly NH3 ammonia refrigeration, PUR/PIR insulated panels, blast freezing tunnels operating at -30°C to -35°C, semi-automated radio shuttle rack systems with precise position identification, and the LOGI online inventory portal developed with CID International (an OLTIS Group product) that gives customers real-time visibility of stored goods. The České Budějovice site additionally operates a customs bonded warehouse for non-EU import/export flows. Vertical integration into transportation is delivered through the wholly-owned FROSTTRANS s.r.o. subsidiary, founded in 2013, which operates 35 refrigerated vehicles across the Czech Republic and selected European destinations.

The business model is B2B and sales-led, with revenue generated from recurring pallet-based storage fees, transaction-based value-added services (blast freezing, picking, labeling, repacking, cross-docking, customs warehousing), and transportation fees via FROSTTRANS. Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and structured around multi-year contracts. Customers are primarily food manufacturers, processors, and distributors, with a secondary segment in fresh produce; the direct sales motion is led by Sales Manager Kateřina Kačírková with CEO Tomáš Urban personally involved in key accounts. The customer base, certifications (IFS across all sites, Bio, multiple regional State Veterinary Administration approvals), and adjacent location to retail distribution centers (Tesco, MAKRO) constitute the principal commercial moat. No external institutional funding or public listing is in evidence.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• HAVI Logistics: Global cold chain 3PL serving major food manufacturers and retailers with integrated warehousing, blast freezing, and temperature-controlled transport. Directly comparable to Eurofrost in service mix and food-industry customer base, though operating at much larger multinational scale.
• NewCold: Technology-driven cold storage 3PL operating automated, highly energy-efficient warehouses for food manufacturers across Europe and North America. Comparable in focus on food-grade temperature-controlled storage and integrated logistics, though with a heavier emphasis on automation and greenfield design.

Broad incumbents

• JF Hillebrand (a Hillebrand division of DHL): Specialist in beverage and food logistics including temperature-controlled flows, now part of DHL. Comparable in serving European food and beverage customers requiring cold-chain expertise, though its emphasis is on beverage transport rather than palletized storage.
• Americold Logistics: NYSE-listed global leader in temperature-controlled warehousing with a sizeable European footprint. Directly comparable business model—public refrigerated warehousing with value-added food logistics—but serves a much broader and more international customer base.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with a dedicated KN Cold Chain Logistics product offering temperature-controlled storage and transport. Comparable as a competitor for large food-industry contracts but typically serves them as part of a much broader logistics portfolio.
• Lineage Logistics: World's largest temperature-controlled warehouse and logistics operator with a global network. Offers the same frozen/chilled storage and integrated transport services as Eurofrost but at vastly greater scale and across multiple countries, including Europe.
• DHL Group: Global logistics integrator operating DHL Cold Chain and life-sciences/food-grade transport and storage. Comparable in offering temperature-controlled warehousing and transport, but competes only opportunistically in the SME food-3PL segment where Eurofrost operates.

Regional players

• Nichirei Logistics Group: Japanese-headquartered cold storage and logistics operator with European operations. Comparable refrigerated warehousing business model, but its primary geographic focus is Asia, making it a regional rather than direct Czech-market peer.
• United States Cold Storage (Yusen Logistics): US-focused public refrigerated warehousing operator acquired by Yusen Logistics. Closely comparable service offering—temperature-controlled storage plus value-added food logistics—but primarily serves North American customers rather than European markets.
• Frigomont: Czech-based frozen and chilled food logistics provider operating refrigerated warehousing and transport within Central Europe. Directly comparable business model and customer base to Eurofrost, though operating in a slightly different Czech sub-region and customer mix.
