CubeCold Europe has expanded its UK presence with the strategic acquisition of J R Harding & Sons, a leading multi-niche temperature-controlled warehouse & distribution company based in Frome, UK.
CubeCold Europe’s CEO, Gerben Paauwe, states, “This acquisition is an excellent strategic fit that strengthens our position in the UK.
J R Harding & Sons’s reputation and customer relationships complement our own and together we can provide even greater value to customers through an integrated network.”.
Founded in 1964, J R Harding & Sons operate a 17.000 pallet temperature-controlled warehouse with a focus on high-value, high-margin goods.
In addition to the warehouse, the company has a fleet of 11 transport units and runs an Iveco truck maintenance business on a 4.3-acre property.
