Supply chain solutions in Europe for the entire logistics chain

In the food sector, timing, quality and availability have a direct impact on your business. That is why an efficient supply chain is critical to your success.

STEF supports companies with supply chain solutions for warehousing, inventory management and distribution. From strategically located sites and a strong European network, we ensure your products are always available. In the right place, at the right time and under the right conditions. Whether you require national transport, international transport, or a combination of both, we provide one integrated solution for your entire logistics chain.

Warehousing and inventory management for efficient national and international transport

A well-organised supply chain starts with the right location. Our sites in Tilburg and Zeewolde form the foundation of an efficient and scalable logistics solution in the Netherlands.

Tilburg is a key logistics hub in the south of the Netherlands. Thanks to its proximity to Belgium and direct connections to transport to France and transport to Germany, this location is ideal for international distribution. From Tilburg, we combine warehousing, cross-docking and distribution, enabling goods to move quickly to their final destination.

Zeewolde is centrally located in the Netherlands and plays an important role in both national and international transport. This site is designed for efficient storage and handling of food products and offers fast access to international routes towards Germany and other European markets.

With ample storage capacity and smart inventory management, we keep your goods moving continuously while helping you avoid unnecessary stock costs.
 

Efficient distribution: from retail distribution to international transport across Europe

From our locations, we organise efficient distribution to key European markets, including transport to Germany, transport to France and other countries within our network.

We combine national and international transport, allowing you to manage your entire distribution with a single logistics partner.

For retail and foodservice, this means:

  • fast lead times
  • reliable deliveries
  • optimal product availability

Whether it concerns retail distribution transport or deliveries to healthcare institutions or caterers, we ensure your products arrive on time and under the right conditions.

Temperature-controlled transport and cold chain logistics for food

In the food sector, temperature control is essential. That is why we work with temperature-controlled transport, tailored to the type of product.

Whether it involves refrigerated transport for fresh products or the transport of ambient goods, we safeguard the right conditions at every stage of the logistics process, both during transport and in our cross-docking hubs.

For chilled products, we provide sustainable cold storage and transport at temperatures between +2°C and +6°C. For ambient food products (dry and ambient products), we ensure safe storage and transport between +10°C and +18°C.

This guarantees quality, food safety and shelf life from storage to delivery.
 

Crossdocking en value added logistics voor een efficiënte supply chain

To optimise your supply chain, we make use of cross-docking and value added logistics (VAL).

Cross-docking ensures that goods are transferred quickly without long-term storage, reducing lead times and lowering costs.

With value added services, we take additional logistics tasks off your hands, such as labelling, repacking and bundling.

This allows your logistics to better match customer requirements and increases flexibility within your supply chain.
