CubeCold Europe is pleased to announce the acquisition of FrigoCaserta, a prominent temperature-controlled warehousing company headquartered in Gricignano d’Aversa, Southern Italy.

This strategic acquisition not only consolidates CubeCold’s position in Europe but also highlights its commitment to the Italian market.

Established in 1974, FrigoCaserta is a leading cold storage business in Southern Italy, serving a diverse clientele with a focus on grocery retailers and food producers in sectors like dairy, fish, and bakery goods.

The company operates a total capacity of approximately 78,000 pallets in different temperature regimes. Of these, a significant 25,000 pallets are part of a newly built state-of-the-art semi-automated temperature-controlled development.

This is the first development of its kind in the region and it began operation in July 2023. The new automated facility adds significant highly efficient storage capacity, ensuring FrigoCaserta’s readiness to meet rising market demands.

FrigoCaserta operates within a strategic logistics zone, close to both the port of Napoli (approximately 30km) and Napoli airport (around 20km), giving it a competitive edge in the market.
