DACHSER & Sud-Fresh join forces within the European Food Network

“It is an honour for us to be recognised for the quality of our services, but it is also a real opportunity for our customers to benefit from the advantages of a high-quality European network specialised in the distribution of food products,” emphasises Vincent Gaillard, CEO of Sud-Fresh.

Sud-Fresh is a leading Belgian logistics service provider for the distribution and storage of temperature-controlled food products. For 14 years, it has been an established name for logistics and transport solutions in the Benelux and to Northern France. Sud-Fresh has two logistics centers, in Aubange and Namur, where DACHSER can benefit from the cross-docking platform. With a total fleet of 153 vehicles and a team of more than 300 employees, Sud-Fresh is a real asset to the European Food Network.

Markus Biemüller, Branch Manager of DACHSER Belgium Food Logistics, emphasizes the success of the collaboration: "The start of this collaboration was a success. Sud-Fresh's delivery performance and the quality of their data are exemplary, supported by advanced IT systems and modern infrastructure."

This partnership is particularly symbolic as Sud-Fresh has worked for many years with Müller Fresh Food Logistics, which was acquired by DACHSER in 2023 and joined the European Food Network earlier this year. With this new partnership and strategic location in Namur, DACHSER aims to further strengthen its presence in the Belgian market and accelerate its growth by offering quality-leading export groupage solutions with end-to-end visibility and proactive communication with the Supply Chain Event Management Tool Active Report.

Mutually beneficial cooperation

This mutually beneficial partnership creates new opportunities for both companies. For DACHSER Food Logistics, which has been active in Belgium since April 2022, it means strengthening its presence in the Belgian market through strategic placement in Namur and access to Sud-Fresh’s state-of-the-art cross-dock facilities. Meanwhile, Sud-Fresh’s customers benefit from DACHSER’s robust European Food Network, which facilitates the export of their products.
