About STEF

Over 100 years on the road for the best taste guarantee

In 1920, the ‘Société Française de Transports et Entrepôts Frigorifiques’ was founded in Paris, focusing on refrigerated rail transport. Since then, we have grown into the European market leader in temperature-controlled food logistics.

For more than a century, we have ensured that people have access to vital food products. With a strong European network, deep knowledge of the food supply chain, and a continuous focus on quality and food safety, we are a reliable partner for organizations in food production, retail, and food service.
