Private equity-owned Lineage Logistics & its next largest competitor, Americold, control 71% of rentable refrigerated warehouse space, or cold storage, in North America. Their consolidation threatens supply chains & hurts small food companies as the duopoly preferences larger customers & charges higher rent. The good news is that there’s a lot of new cold storage construction. Of course, Americold, Lineage, or another private equity player could roll up these upstarts as they have others. But the changing antitrust landscape may prevent this. Read more from Claire Kelloway & Annie Sholar in Food & Power https://lnkd.in/gQF3MZnY #privateequity #foodandbeverage #supplychain #antitrust

Food logistics is a growth factor in Europe. DACHSER has further expanded its own network with pioneering acquisitions and is investing in climate action and digitalization. Its network partners on the Continent benefit from this as well. The Europe-wide networking is reflected in the success story of the European Food Network. In 2013, food logistics companies from all over Europe came together to bundle and synchronize their services under DACHSER's system leadership. 23 network members now connect the markets of 34 countries. DACHSER itself is also continually expanding its international Food Logistics Network. At the beginning of 2023, DACHSER took over the Dutch market leader Müller Fresh Food Logistics, which has also been a partner in the European Food Network since January 1, 2024. This was followed by the Swedish Frigoscandia AB, which is the leading provider of temperature-controlled logistics in Sweden, Norway and Finland with revenue of some EUR 300 million and has also been part of the European Food Network since 2019. With the recent acquisition of the German-Austrian food logistics company Brummer, DACHSER was able to expand and strengthen its network once again. In addition to environmental and climate issues, a further issue facing the industry is increased digitalization. “DACHSER put digitalization on its agenda early on,” Tonn says. Artificial intelligence in image processing and automation technologies in groupage handling are just as much a part of this as the @ILO digital twin. “This means we can deliver high quality and still meet complex customer requirements. It also helps us overcome the challenges arising from the shortage of space and of skilled workers,” Tonn explains.
