29 years moving what leaves no room for error
From an owner-driver with one refrigerated truck in 1997 to more than 82 units running daily in 20 countries, with the same underlying idea: the cold chain is earned on every trip, not in the brochure.
The story, by stages
| Year | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 1997 | Francisco Javier García López enters road haulage as an owner-driver with a single refrigerated truck. |
| 2005 | The first owned refrigerated trailers and the first employed drivers join the operation. |

| 2018 | Move to the current operations centre at Carrer Llevant 21, Fogars de la Selva, Barcelona. |
| 2022 | The fleet passes 50 units. GDP, ISO 9001:2015 and TAPA TSR1 certifications, audited by Bureau Veritas, are added. |
| Today | More than 82 tractor-and-trailer units and daily operation across 20 European countries. |
Where the base is
The operations centre is at Carrer Llevant 21, Pol. Ind. Pla de Fogars, 08495 Fogars de la Selva, near Barcelona. The location is deliberate: it sits on the Mediterranean corridor, with direct access to the AP-7 and about 50 km from the La Jonquera border crossing, through which most of the peninsula’s perishable freight leaves for Europe.
Everything runs from there: traffic, planning, workshop and the fleet base.
How the operation works
- Owned fleet
- The units belong to the company. Regular operations are not subcontracted, which is what makes end-to-end accountability possible.
- Employed drivers
- Own staff with continuous training, without the churn of third-party hauliers.
- In-house traffic
- Route, timing and rest planning is done in-house, with the ceilings of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 built in from the start.
- Documentation
- A temperature record for every trip, retained for 5 years.
