NORDFROST is the market leader in the deep-freeze logistics sector and focuses on providing customers from across the food industry with comprehensive and customised solutions for warehouse, transport and port logistics. The family-owned company also provides additional services for non-food, pharmaceutical and breakbulk (project transportation) goods, as well as container-related services, primarily at its port locations. With 2,300 employees, the logistics company operates 40 locations nationwide with a capacity of around 1 million pallet spaces as well as a Europe-wide groupage transport network which specialises in the fine distribution of frozen goods. From its European headquarters in the northern German town of Schortens, NORDFROST is managed by Britta Bartels (Chair of the Management Board) and the Managing Directors Philipp Brandstrup and Dennis Gloystein. Founded in 1975 by Horst Bartels, the company is 100% family-owned.

NORDFROST’s port logistics currently focus on Wilhelmshaven. The company’s NORDFROST Seaport Terminal is located directly in Germany’s only deep-water container port and offers tailor-made logistics concepts for frozen and fresh goods as well as dry goods such as unchilled foodstuffs, promotional goods and heavy goods.

NORDFROST also offers similar services at the Wesel port. The container terminal gives NORDFROST direct access to the ARA ports and, as a result, a direct connection to overseas traffic. This environmentally friendly transport route via the Rhine is also known as the ‘Cool Corridor’. Inland waterway transport protects the environment and reduces road traffic. Additional traffic is avoided by combining all relevant services in one location with waterfront access. The cold storage facility, which opened in summer 2024 with a storage capacity of 25,000 pallet spaces, will be expanded in a second construction phase. This will commence operations in January 2028. In addition to the storage of temperature-controlled goods, work areas for individual value-added services are also available.
