Constellation Cold Logistics Expands Into Germany

In a significant development for the cold-storage and logistics sector, Constellation Cold Logistics has made its entry into the German market by acquiring Spedition Wohlert and Wohlert Kühl Logistik. This acquisition signifies not only a new chapter for Constellation but also a crucial step in its strategy for growth across Europe. With this partnership, Constellation aims to bolster its leadership position in the logistics market, providing innovative services and extensive distribution capabilities through a robust fleet of 150 vehicles.

Strategic Growth in Europe

Constellation's expansion into Germany marks an important milestone in its European growth strategy. The company has added 40,000 pallet positions of temperature-controlled storage, which will be instrumental in meeting the demands of the food industry and ensuring that products are stored and transported under optimal conditions. The merger of resources is expected to enhance Constellation's service offerings, enabling it to deliver more efficient and reliable logistics solutions to its customers.

Founded in 1950, Spedition Wohlert has a rich history of evolution from a livestock trading and haulage company to a premier logistics provider, specializing in temperature-controlled warehousing. The company operates from two primary cold-storage facilities located in Schleswig-Holstein, coupled with three additional locations in Teterow, Rastede, and Kassel. Their operations include cross-docking services, providing a seamless experience for handling goods.

Innovative Services and Customer Commitment

One of the key advantages of the Wohlert acquisition is the plethora of value-added services it offers. This includes comprehensive import and export solutions, blast freezing, order picking, and crate washing, which cater to the specific needs of their clientele. These services not only streamline logistics processes but also enhance the overall efficiency of the operations. Constellation recognizes the importance of such capabilities in delivering measurable benefits to its customers, thus ensuring strong growth potential in the competitive European market.

Leadership Statements

Carlos Rodriguez, CEO of Constellation, expressed excitement about this partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to partner with such an outstanding company and welcome the Wohlert team to the Constellation family. Their customer-focused culture and operational excellence come together to make this partnership a key milestone for our entry into the German market."

Hans-Joachim Wohlert, along with Julia and Jörn-Peer Wohlert, who currently manage the business, highlighted their pride in the company's growth trajectory. They embrace Constellation's values and vision, expressing enthusiasm for joint expansion plans and the next phase of their business.

A Unified Cold-Logistics Platform

With this acquisition, Constellation aims to create a unified, best-in-class cold-logistics platform across Europe. Their strategy focuses on local market expertise, ensuring operational agility, customer satisfaction, and the entrepreneurial spirit that comes with locally led operations. The integration of Wohlert's services and Constellation's extensive logistical capabilities sets a solid foundation for the German market.

Together, the combined forces of Constellation and Wohlert will work towards enhancing service capabilities, expanding capacity, and most importantly, delivering long-term value and growth to customers, employees, and partners within the supply chain.
