The transaction brings Constellation’s first entry into the Danish market, strengthening its European footprint and service offering in the Nordics for existing and new customers.

Agri-Norcold, headquartered in Aalborg, Denmark, has been a leading player in the Danish cold storage industry since its establishment in 1964. The company owns and operates 10 facilities across Denmark with a total of 865,756m3 of frozen storage, or 266,000 pallet spaces, in addition to major freezing and packing infrastructure. Since 2012, Agri-Norcold has been jointly owned by TA-Logistics and Danish Crown.
