Baking Up a Greener Future: Americold Partners with Europastry in Portugal
At Americold, we believe that sustainability and smart logistics go hand in hand. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with Europastry, a global leader in innovative frozen bakery solutions, to support their production facility in Trofa, Portugal.
This collaboration is more than just a logistics agreement—it’s a shared commitment to efficiency, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
Less Distance, Less Emissions
Thanks to the close proximity of our logistics platform to Europastry’s Trofa facility, we’re significantly reducing the need for long-haul transport. The result? We’re cutting an estimated 230 kg of CO₂ emissions each month. That’s a win for the planet and for operational agility.
Fully Integrated Cold Chain Support
From raw material handling to the distribution of finished goods, Americold is now supporting Europastry’s entire supply chain. And we’re not stopping there—we’re working together to identify even more ways to optimize performance and reduce environmental impact.
“Working alongside Europastry reflects our vision of offering fully integrated and environmentally responsible logistics solutions,” said Mauro Monteiro, Business Development Director Iberia at Americold.
“At Europastry, we are constantly seeking partnerships that enhance our standards of efficiency and sustainability,” said Paulo Nunes, Baker and Logistic & Purchasing Manager at Europastry Portugal. “Our collaboration with Americold is a clear reflection of this vision. Their logistics expertise perfectly complements our commitment to innovation and operational excellence at our Trofa facility. This strategic alliance strengthens our ability to respond swiftly to market demands while reducing our environmental footprint — reaffirming Europastry’s position as a leading player in the frozen bakery sector.”
A Shared Vision for a Sustainable Cold Chain
This partnership is a powerful example of how collaboration can drive meaningful change. By aligning our infrastructure and expertise with Europastry’s commitment to innovation, we’re helping shape a more sustainable future for the food industry in Portugal—and beyond.
