Groupage Transport Solutions for Food Exporters

As food producers, processors, and distributors plan their logistics for the months ahead, efficient, temperature-controlled transport remains a key priority. Whether moving chilled, frozen, or mixed-temperature consignments, groupage transport offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for maintaining supply chain consistency between Ireland and Europe.

At HANNON Transport, we specialise in high-frequency temperature-controlled groupage (LTL) and full load (FTL) services — supporting customers across the food industry with flexible, reliable logistics that protect product quality and reduce costs.

Supporting Food Exporters and Importers Year-Round

For many food businesses, consistent access to European markets is critical. Our groupage services are designed to give exporters and importers across Ireland and the EU the flexibility to move goods regularly — without waiting to fill a full trailer.

We operate daily departures between Ireland, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, offering Day 1 collection and Day 3 delivery as standard for most routes. This dependable schedule helps food producers, processors, and wholesalers maintain supply continuity and meet tight delivery windows, even during peak demand periods.

Precision Temperature Control for Every Product Type

Temperature control is central to what we do. Whether moving chilled dairy, frozen meats, or mixed food consignments, we maintain the correct environment from collection to final delivery.

Our capabilities include:

  • Dual-temperature trailers – ideal for mixed chilled and frozen loads.

  • Chilled (+2°C to +4°C) and frozen (-18°C) transport options.

  • Advanced monitoring systems for full cold chain visibility.

  • Own fleet and drivers – ensuring total operational control.

Every load is handled to the same high standard, ensuring food safety, quality, and compliance across all temperature ranges.

Flexibility That Fits Your Business

From smaller, consolidated shipments to full loads, our flexible groupage model allows customers to scale volumes up or down as demand changes.

Our planning team coordinates consignments by destination, temperature, and product type — ensuring efficient trailer configuration and minimal handling on arrival. This approach keeps deliveries consistent, cost-efficient, and aligned with production and retail schedules.

Built for Food Logistics

With over four decades of experience in temperature-controlled transport, HANNON Transport is a trusted logistics partner for food manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers across Ireland and Europe.

We deliver:

  • Daily groupage and full load services (LTL & FTL)

  • Temperature-controlled and dual-temp trailers

  • Own fleet, facilities, and people – full control from start to finish

  • Award-winning logistics service (IEA Export Industry Awards 2024)

Whether you ship one pallet or a full trailer, our network connects Irish producers and European buyers through efficient, compliant, and reliable food transport.
