Garsou-Angenot is strengthening its logistics offering with new refrigerated trailers to transport wines, sauces, food products or temperature-sensitive goods under controlled temperature conditions, in both summer and winter, and to guarantee their quality all the way to their destination.
The concrete issue : keeping temperature-sensitive goods at the right temperature
Many professionals entrust Garsou-Angenot with goods that, at first glance, do not seem to require refrigeration : food sauces, condiments, fine wines or dry products. Yet these products can be sensitive to temperature variations, both during summer heat and winter frost.
Two situations perfectly illustrate the issue :
- In summer : a curtain-sided truck parked in direct sunlight, for example during routes to the south of France, can reach interior temperatures of 50 °C and more. Above 35 °C, some food sauces can undergo irreversible chemical degradation.
- In winter : quality wines may be affected by frost, with ice crystals potentially damaging the cork. This defect is often invisible to the naked eye but can be detrimental to the end customer.
“Guaranteeing a stable temperature throughout the entire journey means guaranteeing the quality of the delivered product. That is the promise we make to our customers.”
— Garsou-Angenot
The solution : managed and controlled temperature in every season
The investment in new trailers equipped with refrigeration units enables Garsou-Angenot to handle the transport of goods under managed and controlled temperature conditions. In practice, the company can now offer :
- Transport at controlled ambient temperature (15-20 °C) : ideal for wines, spirits, sauces, condiments and dry food products sensitive to thermal shock ;
- Refrigerated transport up to +4 °C : for products requiring a cool environment, such as certain fresh or semi-fresh products ;
- Frozen transport at negative temperatures : for frozen goods or products requiring frozen storage conditions.
This flexibility makes it possible to provide a tailor-made response according to each customer’s product requirements, as part of a comprehensive logistics partnership including road transport, groupage, warehousing and goods tracking.
Are your goods sensitive to temperature variations ?
Avoid quality losses caused by heat, cold or temperature breaks. Garsou-Angenot supports you with transport solutions adapted to your product constraints.
Why is this service arriving at the right time ?
Garsou-Angenot is already FSSC 22000 certified, the international standard guaranteeing food chain safety. The company also holds ISO 9001 certification since 1995 and ensures full traceability of goods, including organic products. The launch of refrigerated trailers is therefore part of a coherent approach : meeting the needs of an existing food-sector customer base while opening up new commercial opportunities.
The temperature-controlled transport offer responds to growing demand from existing customers who had until now been transporting their sensitive goods without adequate thermal protection, sometimes with irreversible consequences for the quality of the delivered products.
Refrigerated transport, a natural extension of Garsou-Angenot’s expertise
With 25,000 m² of certified warehousing space, a fleet of more than 40 vehicles, groupage lines throughout Europe, as well as an air freight department on the Brussels Airport site, Garsou-Angenot is positioned as a leading multimodal logistics player in the Benelux and beyond. Refrigerated transport enriches an already highly comprehensive range of services and provides a direct response to a major underlying trend : rising requirements in terms of quality, traceability and product preservation throughout the entire logistics chain.

Frequently asked questions about refrigerated transport
Temperature-controlled transport consists of keeping goods within a defined temperature range throughout the entire journey. At Garsou-Angenot, this solution helps protect sensitive products from heat, cold and temperature variations in order to preserve their quality all the way to their destination.
Wines, spirits, sauces, condiments, dry food products, fresh products, semi-fresh products, cosmetics or certain sensitive goods may require suitable thermal protection. Even when a product does not need to be transported cold, it may still need to be protected from high temperatures or frost.
Controlled ambient temperature generally aims to maintain a stable range of around 15 to 20°C. Refrigerated transport keeps goods cool, for example up to +4°C. Frozen transport makes it possible to manage negative temperatures for frozen products or goods that need to be kept in freezing conditions.
Some sensitive food products may lose quality when exposed to excessive heat, prolonged frost or temperature breaks. This is particularly true for certain wines, sauces, condiments or dry products that are sensitive to thermal shocks.
Yes. Garsou-Angenot supports professionals with their transport and logistics needs in Belgium, throughout the Benelux and to various European destinations. The company offers solutions tailored to the specific requirements of temperature-sensitive goods.
Refrigerated transport makes it possible to better control the temperature of goods during transit and to reduce the risk of temperature breaks. For sensitive products, this temperature control helps preserve the cold chain and the quality of the delivered product.
To receive a tailored solution, simply specify the type of goods, the required temperature, the volumes to be transported, the pickup and delivery locations, as well as any specific logistics constraints. The Garsou-Angenot team can then propose a refrigerated or temperature-controlled transport solution adapted to your needs.
