After more than 30 years with the same logistics provider, Delifrance has decided to take a new step. A long-term and strategic partnership is now being launched with Tempcon Group – with a focus on sustainable growth, customer value, and high delivery precision.
Delifrance is a leading European food producer with roots in France and operations across large parts of the world. In the Nordic region, Hans Nilsson, Country Manager, is responsible for the company’s business development, together with, among others, CFO Anders Thygesson.
– We are pursuing a clear growth strategy and need a partner who can grow with us, understand our business, and at the same time meet our high demands on both quality and sustainability. Tempcon offers exactly that, says Hans Nilsson, Country Manager at Delifrance Nordic.
The background to the collaboration is Delifrance’s need to modernize and streamline its logistics operations in the Nordics, while also gaining fresh perspectives and new ideas. After a thorough procurement process, the choice fell on Tempcon – the Nordic region’s leading provider of temperature-controlled logistics.
With Tempcon, Delifrance gains a partner that takes full responsibility for the entire logistics chain.
– Service level is absolutely crucial. It doesn’t matter how good the products are if they’re not delivered properly. Tempcon meets our requirements – both through their certifications and their ability to deliver with precision, explains Hans Nilsson.
Delifrance delivers products with high demands on both quality and availability – something that must also be reflected in the logistics. Both Anders and Hans emphasize that while price is, of course, a factor – it is far from the only one.
– For us, partnership is key. It’s about understanding, responsiveness, and the willingness to grow together. Tempcon has shown that they aim to be more than just a supplier. They are a long-term partner, says Anders Thygesson, CFO of Delifrance Nordic.
Another decisive factor in choosing a new partner was Tempcon’s strong focus on IT and digitalization.
– With Tempcon, we gain access to a digital infrastructure that allows us to meet our customers’ demands for fast information, traceability, and real-time availability, says Anders Thygesson.
Sustainability is a fundamental part of Delifrance’s strategy – both globally and in the Nordics. Here, Tempcon is seen as a key piece of the puzzle in reducing the company’s climate impact.
– We know that logistics and raw material flows account for a large portion of our emissions. That’s why it’s crucial for us to have a partner who actively works with fossil-free transport, electrification, and efficient logistics, says Hans Nilsson.
One person who is pleased to welcome Delifrance to Tempcon is Mats Söderström, Head of Communications and Marketing at Tempcon Group.
– As a partner, we will work very closely with Delifrance and gain deep insights into their operations. It will be very exciting to develop their business further – together, says Mats Söderström.
