Constellation Cold Logistics enters Poland with the acquisition of Wimar Coldstore

Constellation Cold Logistics — the EQT-backed group that ranks among Europe's largest independent cold-storage operators — has acquired Wimar Coldstore (Wimar-Chłodnia sp. z o.o.), a family company founded in 1990 in Radwanków Szlachecki, south of Warsaw. The site combines frozen-fruit processing with cold storage and temperature-controlled logistics, and adds 25,000 pallet positions to a European network of more than one million. Poland becomes the tenth country in Constellation's network; terms were not disclosed.

Our take Look at this one from the seller's chair. When a European buy-and-build platform enters a new country, its first purchase is almost always a long-established family business with a defensible niche — here, a cold-storage operator built over 35 years. Owners of "unglamorous", infrastructure-like companies — warehousing, specialised logistics, processing — are exactly who consolidators call first. And an entry acquisition is rarely the last: expect add-ons in Poland, which means one more deep-pocketed buyer at the table for businesses of this profile.
