ThermoNord OÜ

What ThermoNord OÜ does

ThermoNord OÜ is an Estonian private limited company headquartered at Vesivärava tn 50-301, 10152 Tallinn, that provides temperature-controlled road transport and cold chain logistics services for chilled and frozen shipments across Europe. Its core service offering comprises refrigerated transport for fresh food, dairy, meat, and beverages; frozen transport; double-temperature loads enabling multiple temperature zones in a single operation; and express shipments for time-critical cargo. Supporting capabilities include GPS-based live status updates that provide real-time shipment visibility and end-to-end door-to-door coordination covering loading, transit, delivery, and documentation.

The underlying technology stack is light on proprietary IP: GPS telematics for real-time truck location and temperature monitoring, supplemented by an in-house live transport overview surfaced on the company website. No patents, trademarks, certifications (e.g., GDP for pharma, HACCP, ISO 22000), APIs, SDKs, MCP servers, or third-party TMS integrations are disclosed. The operational model is a hybrid of own-fleet capacity and a trusted partner carrier network, which allows ThermoNord to serve both recurring scheduled lanes and one-off shipments without full capex exposure on its truck fleet.

ThermoNord operates on a sales-led, quote-based, transactional pricing model. Prospective customers submit route, date, temperature, cargo type, pallet count, and weight details via a web form or email ([email protected]) and receive custom per-shipment pricing under a pay-as-you-go cadence; no standard rate cards or volume tiers are published. Customer segmentation is vertical-driven, with food and fresh produce plus frozen goods and retail as primary segments and pharmaceutical/healthcare cargo as a secondary segment. Geographic coverage spans 15+ European countries with a stated Nordic and Western Europe focus, supported by 24/7 dispatch operations. The company is privately held, bootstrapped (no external funding rounds disclosed), has no disclosed management team, and reports no revenue figures publicly.

Direct peers

• STEF: STEF is the leading European temperature-controlled transport and cold chain logistics specialist, headquartered in France with operations across Western and Southern Europe.

• Eurotranspharma: Eurotranspharma is a France-based European specialist in temperature-controlled pharmaceutical transport, operating in France, Belgium, Germany, Spain and other European markets. Direct peer to ThermoNord in temperature-controlled road transport for regulated/healthcare cargo, with deeper pharma GDP focus.

Broad incumbents

Comparable to ThermoNord on multi-vertical temperature-controlled transport across Europe, with much stronger pharma credentials and global reach.
