Cold Chain Precision All Year Round

Temperature control is at the core of what we do. Every shipment — from mixed fresh produce to cut flowers and plants — is managed with strict cold chain integrity to preserve quality throughout the journey.

Our cold chain capabilities include:

  • Chilled Transport: +2°C to +5°C for produce and flowers.

  • Frozen Transport: -18°C for temperature-sensitive food products.

  • Dual-Temperature Trailers: Ideal for mixed shipments with different handling requirements.

  • Humidity Regulation: Essential for preserving the condition of delicate floral products.

Whether it’s fresh fruit from France or flowers from the Netherlands, our transport systems are designed to handle each consignment with precision and care.

Audit Highlights

Our latest audit confirmed strong operational controls and ongoing commitment to improvement.

Key highlights included:
• Robust temperature monitoring and traceability systems
• Strong hygiene and housekeeping standards
• Proactive management and trained staff across all departments
• Effective and compliant cross-docking and transfer procedures

This independent recognition reinforces HANNON’s reputation for excellence in temperature-controlled logistics and quality management.

Customer Assurance and Continuous Improvement

Every customer consignment handled through our network benefits from the same focus on integrity, safety and compliance. Regular audits, staff training and ongoing system investments ensure our processes evolve in line with regulatory and customer expectations.
