Waar je gaat werken

OneFrio was formed through the integration of several well-established family businesses, including Grolleman Coldstore Group, Nedcool, Coenen Boxmeer (Netherlands), and McCulla (Ireland). The company is now entering a new phase of growth and further professionalization.

Together, these businesses form the foundation of an ambitious European network for chilled and frozen food storage and distribution. OneFrio provides end-to-end solutions for freezing, storage, packaging, and transportation of temperature-controlled food products.

Every day, hundreds of employees ensure that food is handled safely, efficiently, and sustainably throughout the European food chain. The organization is expanding rapidly, yet remains young in structure and culture. In the coming years, the focus will be on continued growth, building a shared identity, and defining strong core values.

From its Amsterdam headquarters, OneFrio works closely with its operating companies across the Netherlands and Ireland. Colleagues of various nationalities collaborate in an open, entrepreneurial environment where English is the working language. OneFrio is not a traditional corporate, but an entrepreneurial company with European reach that is pragmatic, ambitious, and built on teamwork.
