Partnerships
Stef partners with major supermarket chains and distributors to run downstream logistics and last-mile delivery under long-term strategic contracts, often co-investing in dedicated warehouses or transport lanes; as of 2024 Stef reported 72% of its European B2B revenue tied to long-term logistics partnerships and operated ~220 dedicated temperature-controlled platforms for retail clients. This model keeps fresh and frozen shelves stocked during seasonal demand spikes and peak weeks.
As of late 2025, STEF partners with electric and hydrogen heavy‑truck makers including Volvo Group and Iveco to roll out 1,200 low‑emission vehicles by 2027, cutting scoped transport CO2 by an estimated 25% vs 2020 levels. They also contract IoT firms (e.g., Sensitech) to install temperature sensors across 95% of refrigerated trailers and 80% of warehouses, ensuring cold‑chain compliance and lowering spoilage rates by ~12%.
European Logistics Alliances
STEF partners with local refrigerated carriers across Europe to cover 95% of EU population centers, using shared terminals and harmonized quality SOPs to cut cross-border lead times by ~18% and support €6.2bn group revenue from food logistics (2024).
These alliances enable unified SLAs for multinationals, reduce empty runs by ~12% via network pooling, and extend reach while CAPEX stays focused on core hubs.
- 95% EU coverage
- ~18% faster cross-border transit
- €6.2bn 2024 revenue
- ~12% fewer empty runs
Energy and Sustainability Partners
STEF partners with renewable energy firms and industrial refrigeration engineers to install rooftop solar and heat-recovery systems, cutting site energy use by up to 30% and lowering CO2 emissions—STEF reported a 12% energy-cost reduction at pilot sites in 2024.
- Rooftop solar: freespace ~5–10 MW across sites (2024 pilots)
- Heat recovery: recovers 20–35% of waste heat
- Impact: ~12% energy cost savings; stabilizes margins vs volatile fuel prices
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| 2024 revenue (group) | €4.1bn |
| Food logistics scope | €6.2bn |
| EU coverage | 95% |
| Dedicated platforms | ~220 |

Activities
STEF runs 200+ refrigerated warehouses across Europe serving as consolidation/deconsolidation hubs; core activities are pallet management, order picking and cross-docking under HACCP hygiene rules, handling ~3 million pallet positions and €4.3bn in annual logistics revenue (2024). By 2025 automation—AS/RS, automated guided vehicles—has cut picking errors by ~40% and increased throughput by ~30% in high-volume sites.
A significant share of daily ops—about 18% of labor hours and €22M CAPEX in 2024—focuses on HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) compliance, with full audit trails logged for 100% of shipments.
Stef runs continuous temperature monitoring across 1,200 sites and enforces cleaning protocols that cut contamination incidents by 42% year‑on‑year, preserving regulator and customer trust.
Information Systems Management
