Everwood Capital’s Transport and Logistics Fund has acquired 100% of Grupo Transmolbo, a specialist operator in international refrigerated transport with a strong focus on the fruit and vegetable sector and consolidation services, headquartered in Valencia. The transaction marks a new milestone in the Fund’s strategy to build a leading European temperature-controlled logistics group from the Iberian Peninsula.
As part of the deal, Grupo Transmolbo will be integrated with Transportes Cruz, also backed by the Fund, to create a specialized platform for international cold chain transport and logistics. This is a strategic and fast-growing segment, driven by increasing demand for temperature-controlled distribution solutions in essential sectors such as food, fresh produce, and pharmaceuticals.
Grupo Transmolbo: Nearly Five Decades of Family-Owned Excellence
Founded in 1978 in Valencia, Transmolbo is a family-owned company with €25 million in revenue and a team of 84 professionals. The company operates a fleet of 124 tractor units and 145 refrigerated trailers, as well as 2,000 square meters of groupage facilities in Ribarroja del Turia (Valencia).
Its operations are primarily focused on international routes to France, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands—key markets for fresh and perishable goods exports.
According to the founding shareholders: “The entry of Everwood Capital’s Transport and Logistics Fund and the integration with Transportes Cruz mark the beginning of a new growth phase for the company. This transaction will allow us to advance our digital transformation, align with the highest ESG standards, and strengthen our organizational capabilities to provide our customers with a more efficient and higher-quality service.”
Building a Leading International Refrigerated Transport Operator
This transaction is part of Everwood Capital’s strategy to create a leading international refrigerated transport group based in the Iberian Peninsula.
Following the integration, Transportes Cruz and Grupo Transmolbo will reach combined revenues of approximately €70 million, with a workforce of 340 professionals and a fleet of more than 620 vehicles.
The new group has an operational presence in Navarre, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, Alicante, and Valencia, and aims to grow both organically and through acquisitions across key European transport corridors.
Juan José Andrés, Partner at Everwood Capital, stated: “With the integration of Grupo Transmolbo and Transportes Cruz, we are taking another step toward building a leading international refrigerated transport platform, combining full truckload capacity, groupage specialization, and a strengthened operational footprint across northern, central, southern, and eastern Spain. This is a significant milestone in consolidating a benchmark cold chain group from the Iberian Peninsula into Europe.”
