Garsou-Angenot is expanding its logistics services with new trailers equipped with temperature regulation systems to transport wine, sauces and other temperature-sensitive goods under controlled conditions, in both summer and winter, preserving their quality all the way to their destination.
The challenge: protecting temperature-sensitive goods from temperature fluctuations
Many businesses entrust Garsou-Angenot with goods that, at first glance, do not seem to require specific temperature conditions: sauces, condiments, fine wines or dry food products. However, these products can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations, both during summer heatwaves and winter frosts.
Two situations clearly illustrate this challenge:
- In summer: the temperature inside a curtain-sided truck parked in direct sunlight can rise significantly, particularly during journeys to the south of France. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can affect the properties and quality of certain sauces.
- In winter: fine wines can suffer damage when exposed to freezing temperatures, particularly affecting the cork and the bottle's seal, with potential consequences for product quality.
“Maintaining a stable temperature throughout the journey helps preserve the quality of the goods being transported. This is our commitment to our customers.”

The solution: temperature-controlled transport all year round
By investing in new trailers equipped with temperature regulation systems, Garsou-Angenot can provide transport services for goods requiring controlled temperatures.
The company offers transport at a controlled ambient temperature (15 to 20°C), ideal for wines, spirits, sauces, condiments and dry food products that are sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
This solution makes it possible to meet the specific temperature requirements of each customer's goods as part of a comprehensive logistics partnership covering road transport, groupage, warehousing and shipment tracking.
Are your goods sensitive to temperature fluctuations?
Avoid quality loss caused by heat, cold or significant temperature changes. Garsou-Angenot supports you with transport solutions tailored to your products' specific requirements.
Why is this service particularly relevant today?
Garsou-Angenot already holds FSSC 22000 certification, an internationally recognised framework for food safety management. The company has also been ISO 9001 certified since 1995 and ensures full traceability of goods, including organic products. The introduction of new temperature-controlled transport solutions is therefore a natural step forward: meeting the needs of an existing customer base in the food sector while opening up new business opportunities.
The temperature-controlled transport service responds to growing demand from existing customers who previously transported their sensitive goods without adequate thermal protection, sometimes resulting in irreversible damage to the quality of the delivered products.
Temperature-controlled 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 routes throughout Europe and an air freight department based at Brussels Airport, Garsou-Angenot has established itself as a leading multimodal logistics provider in the Benelux and beyond. Temperature-controlled transport further enhances an already comprehensive range of services and directly addresses a growing trend: increasingly demanding requirements for quality, traceability and the protection of temperature-sensitive products throughout the logistics chain.

Frequently asked questions about temperature-controlled transport
Temperature-controlled transport involves maintaining goods within a defined temperature range throughout the journey. At Garsou-Angenot, this solution helps protect sensitive products from extreme heat, freezing temperatures and temperature fluctuations, preserving their quality until they reach their destination.
Wines, spirits, sauces, condiments and certain dry food products may require thermal protection. Even when goods do not require refrigerated transport, they can still be sensitive to temperature fluctuations and may need protection from extreme heat or freezing conditions.
Transport at a controlled ambient temperature keeps goods within a stable temperature range, generally between 15 and 20°C, depending on the products' requirements. This solution helps preserve product quality and reduces the risk of damage caused by temperature fluctuations.
Certain food products can lose quality when exposed to excessive heat, freezing temperatures or significant temperature fluctuations. This is particularly true of certain wines, sauces, condiments and dry food products that are sensitive to sudden temperature changes.
Garsou-Angenot supports businesses with their transport and logistics needs in Belgium, throughout the Benelux and to various European destinations. The company provides solutions tailored to the specific temperature requirements of the goods being transported.
Conventional transport does not always allow temperature fluctuations inside a trailer to be controlled. Temperature-controlled transport provides better protection against summer heat and winter frost by maintaining conditions suited to the sensitivity of the goods.
To receive a tailored solution, simply provide details about the type of goods, temperature requirements, transport volumes, collection and delivery locations, and any specific logistics requirements. The Garsou-Angenot team can then assess the feasibility of your request and propose a suitable solution.
