Schmitz Cargobull hands over the 1,000th S.KO COOL refrigerated trailer to NORDFROST

January 2026 - Schmitz Cargobull has handed over the 1,000th refrigerated trailer to NORDFROST GmbH & Co. KG. The handover ceremony took place at the Schneiderkrug site and marked two special events: The family-owned company NORDFROST celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025; and its continuing successful collaboration with Schmitz Cargobull, which has lasted more than 30 years.

"We are delighted about the delivery of the 1,000th refrigerated trailer by Schmitz Cargobull as a reliable partner who fulfils our high demands on quality and flexibility - two crucial aspects for our customers from the food industry, wholesale and retail, import and export, to be able to offer optimal transport solutions throughout Europe," says Britta Bartels, owner of NORDFROST.

Schmitz Cargobull delivered the first vehicles to NORDFROST back in the mid-1990s. Today, the logistics company is the market leader in frozen food logistics with 40 branches throughout Germany. NORDFROST relies on state-of-the-art technology: the vehicles used are equipped with double-evaporator refrigeration systems that enable transportation in two temperature ranges - a prerequisite for flexibility and efficiency in temperature-controlled logistics.

"Every S.KO COOL refrigerated lorry is a building block for smooth refrigerated transport. The handover of the 1,000th refrigerated trailer to NORDFROST is a strong signal: NORDFROST relies on reliability and Schmitz Cargobull supplies the technology for this. We are delighted to contribute to the successful temperature-controlled logistics of our customer with our vehicles," says Frank Reppenhagen, Director for Western Europe at Schmitz Cargobull.
