en.Wedoany.com Reported - Everwood Capital, through its transport and logistics fund, has completed the acquisition of Grupo Transmolbo and integrated it with Transportes Cruz, creating a business platform focused on international cold chain transport and logistics. This market segment is rapidly growing due to the increasing demand for temperature-controlled distribution solutions in key industries.
Grupo Transmolbo, headquartered in Valencia, Spain, was founded in 1978 and specializes in international cold chain transport, with a focus on the fruit and vegetable sector and consolidation services. The company has an annual revenue of €25 million and employs 84 professionals. Its fleet includes 124 tractors and 145 refrigerated semi-trailers, along with a 2,000-square-meter consolidation facility in Ribarroja del Turia (Valencia). The company's operations are primarily concentrated on international routes to France, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands, key destinations for the export of fresh and perishable products.
The founding partners of Transmolbo stated that joining Everwood's transport and logistics fund and integrating with Transportes Cruz marks a new growth phase for the company. This transaction will drive progress in digital transformation, align with the highest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, and strengthen organizational capabilities, thereby providing customers with more efficient and higher-quality services.
This acquisition is part of Everwood's strategy to build an international cold chain transport group from the Iberian Peninsula. Following the integration, the combined revenue of Transportes Cruz and Grupo Transmolbo is close to €70 million, with a total of 340 professionals and a fleet of over 620 vehicles. The new group has operations in Navarre, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, Alicante, and Valencia, and plans to drive both organic and inorganic growth along major European corridors.
Juan José Andrés, Partner at Everwood Capital, noted that by integrating Grupo Transmolbo with Transportes Cruz, the company has made substantial progress in building a leading platform for international cold chain transport. This platform combines full truckload capacity with specialized consolidation services and strengthens operational coverage in northern, central, southern, and eastern Iberia. He believes this is a significant step toward consolidating a benchmark cold chain group from the Iberian Peninsula into the European market.
This transaction marks the fund's 14th acquisition. The fund already holds a diversified portfolio of specialized companies covering different segments of the logistics sector, including: Partida Logistics and AGSA (customs management); Maresa Logística and Altair Consultores Logísticos (freight forwarding services); A Tu Hora Express (value-added last-mile delivery); HTG Express, Arin Express, and Transpaneuropa (industrial express transport); and Prontia Logística, formed by the integration of Transaez, Arimon Logistics, TransDusan, and MBCold Logistics (focused on cold chain logistics). This newly integrated platform joins this ecosystem as the international cold chain transport business unit.
