Constellation Cold Logistics UK is entering the final stages of a major expansion at their site in Grimsby. With an additional 37,000 pallet spaces of frozen storage coming online this summer, the new facility will increase site capacity to 52,000 pallet spaces, reinforcing Grimsby’s position as a hub for the UK food industry.
This investment reflects Constellation’s commitment to building a stronger, more resilient cold chain – one that’s aligned with the needs of customers, our communities, and the climate.
Designed to serve Grimsby’s vibrant food and seafood industries, the 130,000 sq. ft state-of-the-art facility has been developed with scalability, reliability, and service quality at its core. Thanks to support from the UK Seafood Infrastructure Scheme, the site includes:
- Fully frozen loading bays to preserve product integrity
- Mobile and static racking for flexible, high-density storage
- A new energy-efficient refrigeration plant and solar PV installation
- Infrastructure designed to reduce Scope 3 emissions by over 50% compared to traditional facilities in the region
Constellation’s expansion in Grimsby isn’t just about capacity. It’s about creating an operational environment that enables their customers to grow with confidence. From freezing and tempering to case picking, quality control, and repacking, the new facility offers access to a broad range of specialised, value-added services – all delivered by a skilled local team.
Our goal is to be more than a logistics provider. We aim to be a partner in every customer’s supply chain – building long-term trust through consistency, responsiveness, and technological innovation.
Customers in Grimsby benefit not only from local expertise and infrastructure, but also from seamless access to Constellation’s pan-European network, which now spans over one million pallet positions across 38 facilities in eight countries.
From single-pallet groupage to full-load transport and import/export support, our network is designed to simplify logistics, reduce lead times, and provide certainty – whatever the complexity of your operation.
As Constellation’s CEO Carlos Rodriguez noted in his recent update, Constellation’s focus for 2025 has been on laying the foundations for scalable, long-term growth – through stronger local operations, customer-driven innovation, and a more tightly integrated pan-European network.
The Grimsby expansion is a tangible example of this approach in action. It reinforces our commitment to serving customers more flexibly and with cold chain sustainability in mind, while supporting a stronger, more connected cold chain in the UK and beyond.
We look forward to opening the doors to our new facility this summer – and to continuing to support our customers in Grimsby and across the network with the strength, reliability and responsiveness that defines Constellation.
