Frozen Exports to Austria: What’s Driving Demand?

As Irish food exports continue to expand into central Europe, Austria is emerging as a strong destination for frozen food consignments. With a mature foodservice sector and growing demand for premium imports, Austrian wholesalers, retailers and distributors rely on fast, reliable, and compliant frozen transport from Ireland.

At HANNON Transport, we provide a twice-weekly frozen groupage service from Ireland into Austria, offering secure, temperature-controlled logistics that protect product quality throughout the journey. Whether you’re shipping frozen meat, dairy, seafood or convenience foods, we help ensure your goods arrive in perfect condition

Twice-Weekly Groupage from Ireland to Austria

HANNON operates twice-weekly frozen groupage into Austria, consolidating pallets from across Ireland and delivering directly into Austrian distribution centres, wholesalers and foodservice hubs.

This is an ideal solution for:

• Exporters who ship below full-truckload volumes

• Food brands entering the Austrian market

• Businesses needing consolidation across multiple producers

• Frozen producers looking to expand into new EU markets

With full temperature control, in-house customs clearance, and total visibility, our service helps reduce risk and improve confidence at every stage of the supply chain.

Why Frozen Requires Specialised Transport

Frozen products demand strict handling and storage throughout transit. Even brief fluctuations in temperature can impact safety, quality, or regulatory compliance.

That’s why our frozen logistics services are designed around:

• Consistent sub-zero conditions (typically -18°C or below)

• Specialised trailers with frozen-only capacity

• Real-time temperature monitoring

• In-house EU customs clearance, avoiding delays at borders

Trusted by Exporters Across Ireland

Our frozen groupage services are already used by producers and processors across Ireland — including those exporting frozen meat, dairy, bakery goods, ready meals, and plant-based foods.

We’ve built a reputation for consistency, flexibility, and end-to-end control — all backed by our award-winning team and operational network across Ireland and mainland Europe.
