Expansion to become Germany's largest deep-freeze warehouse
The company has submitted the relevant building applications and plans to contribute 80,000 TEU to port handling in Wilhelmshaven in 2019. Nordfrost currently employs 250 people there. The Nordfrost seaport terminal in the container port of Wilhelmshaven covers around 70,000 square meters of storage space. Twelve months ago, Nordfrost put its newly built deep-freeze warehouse in the container port of Wilhelmshaven into operation. Now the expansion with a fully automated deep-freeze high-bay warehouse is imminent, which will comprise a further 40,000 pallet spaces and, together with a second hygiene area for food processing, will be connected to the existing deep-freeze halls, creating the largest deep-freeze warehouse in Germany in Wilhelmshaven.

Also planned: Heavy goods hall and rail connection
The company has submitted a further building application for a 6,500 square meter assembly hall with indoor cranes for project shipments and heavy goods of all kinds. Until this facility is completed, corresponding orders have been carried out at Nordfrost's port operations in the inner harbor of Wilhelmshaven for a year. Ships are loaded exclusively via the Wilhelmshaven container port. Another construction project of the deep-freeze logistics company: the connection of the Nordfrost seaport terminal with a 1.5 kilometer long rail track system.

Port logistics is an integral part of Nordfrost's business model and now rests on three pillars: Storage, transportation and wide-ranging port activities. The company, headquartered in Schortens near Wilhelmshaven, claims to be Germany's leading service provider in frozen food logistics. Nordfrost employs 2,600 people in Germany at 40 deep-freeze warehouse locations with a capacity of 760,000 pallet spaces.
