INTERFRISA Grupo Frimercat

What INTERFRISA Grupo Frimercat does

INTERFRISA Grupo Frimercat is a cold chain logistics platform serving perishable-goods operators across Catalonia, Spain. The group operates through two integrated brands: FRIMERCAT, founded in 1991 in Barcelona's Mercabarna wholesale food market, and INTERFRISA, incorporated in March 2020 with facilities in Terrassa and Mercabarna. Together the group manages 275,000 m³ of temperature-controlled capacity across four plants and approximately 45,000 pallet positions, serving producers, wholesalers, guilds, distributors, large-surface retailers, manufacturers-producers, and mass distribution clients across fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, dairy, ice cream, meat, and frozen baked goods.

The core technology consists of physical cold chain infrastructure with multi-temperature zones ranging from -25°C to +10°C, enabling storage of products with widely varying temperature requirements within the same facility. The platform offers integrated services including temperature-controlled warehousing, handling (loading and unloading, picking, weighing, cross-docking, sampling and labeling), customs warehousing (Depósito Aduanero), and last-mile distribution. A web-based application allows customers to manage inventory remotely, and the facilities provide value-added services such as office space, networking, and telecommunications. The group holds sanitary registrations for all product types and a customs warehouse license, enabling international trade flows through the facility.

The business operates on a managed-services revenue model, charging B2B clients for storage, handling, customs, and distribution services under direct commercial relationships. The go-to-market is direct sales to enterprise and mid-market clients within and adjacent to the Mercabarna wholesale food complex. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are negotiated individually. The strategic Mercabarna location provides direct access to Barcelona's port, airport, and motorway network, anchoring the group's regional position in the Catalan food supply chain.
