Strengthening Fresh Produce Logistics Between France and Ireland

Attending medFEL 2025 – Perpignan, France (23-24 April 2025)

HANNON Transport is pleased to announce our attendance at medFEL 2025, the premier French trade event dedicated to the fruit and vegetable sector. Bringing together growers, wholesalers, retailers, and logistics specialists, medFEL provides a platform to explore market trends, sustainability initiatives, and supply chain innovations.

As a specialist in temperature-controlled logistics, HANNON Transport plays a key role in ensuring that fresh produce moves efficiently between France and Ireland. With direct transport routes, seamless cold-chain management, and rapid delivery times, we provide tailored logistics solutions that help fresh produce exporters expand their market reach.

With a strong focus on sustainability and supply chain resilience, medFEL 2025 is the perfect opportunity for us to connect with industry stakeholders and discuss the future of fresh produce logistics in Europe.

France-to-Ireland Groupage: A Fast, Efficient Supply Chain Solution

In partnership with Primever, HANNON Transport operates a dedicated groupage service from France to Ireland, six days a week, offering:

✅ Day 1 collection anywhere in France
✅ Day 3/4 delivery anywhere in Ireland
✅ Temperature-controlled transport to maintain freshness and quality
✅ Flexible shipment sizes – from a single pallet to a full truckload (FTL)
✅ Direct transport, bypassing the UK to reduce delays and complexity

Given that 83% of Ireland’s fresh produce supply is imported, our logistics model provides a vital link between French exporters and Irish retailers, ensuring fresh, high-quality products arrive efficiently and cost-effectively.

Four Key Areas of Expertise

🔹 Temperature-Controlled Road Transport – Collecting, consolidating, grouping, and distributing fresh produce across France and Europe.

🔹 Customs & European Transport Compliance – Ensuring seamless cross-border movement of goods with full customs clearance.

🔹 Logistics & Warehousing – Storage, cross-docking, and supply chain management for fresh produce and industrial goods.

🔹 Industrial Freight & Haulage Services – Full-truckload (FTL) transport and national groupage solutions across France.

Through our strategic partnership with Primever, we provide unmatched reliability, efficiency, and market access for French fresh produce exporters looking to expand into Ireland.

Market Trends: The Future of Fresh Produce Logistics

Sustainability and efficiency remain at the forefront of the fresh produce sector, with major trends shaping the industry:

🌿 Decarbonising Transport and Supply Chains

As businesses seek to reduce their carbon footprint, the focus is shifting towards low-emission transport, optimised routing, and cold-chain innovations that enhance sustainability while maintaining efficiency.

🍏 Rising Demand for Fresh, Locally Sourced Produce

Consumers are prioritising high-quality, sustainably sourced fresh produce. By providing direct, temperature-controlled transport between France and Ireland, we help exporters deliver fresher produce with minimal handling.

📈 Streamlined Logistics for a More Resilient Supply Chain

Post-Brexit supply chain challenges have driven demand for alternative, direct transport routes. Our France-to-Ireland groupage service ensures faster, more reliable deliveries without unnecessary delays.

🔄 Cold Chain Innovation to Maintain Quality

A seamless cold chain is essential for preserving the freshness, taste, and shelf life of fruit and vegetables. Our advanced fleet and logistics infrastructure guarantee optimal product integrity upon arrival.
