Following the construction of a state-of-the-art warehouse in Kölliken in 2018, STEF is investing again in the Aargau region these days – through the acquisition of Frigosuisse. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the month.
Founded in 1931, Frigosuisse specializes in the storage, order picking, and transport of temperature-controlled food products. Frigosuisse employs 54 people and operates the well-known, 19,000 m² semi-automated warehouse in Möhlin, with a storage capacity of 34,500 pallets, 33,000 of which are in the frozen food section.

In 2021, the company generated sales of approximately CHF 13 million. "With the acquisition of Frigosuisse," says Hans-Peter Harnisch, Managing Director of STEF Switzerland, "we will be able to further pursue our development goals and consolidate our status as a leading player in the frozen food business in Switzerland. Furthermore, we will significantly expand our warehousing capacity and order picking activities in this strategically located region near Basel."
STEF is a pure-play food supply chain company with a long and rich history spanning more than 100 years. STEF considers itself the European market leader for temperature-controlled transport and logistics services (-25°C to +15°C).
STEF employs more than 20,000 people and has 260 locations in eight European countries. In 2021, the group generated revenue of €3.5 billion.
