Die Multi-Millionen-Pfund-Transaktion ist die erste Akquisition von Cargostore in seiner 30-j\u00e4hrigen Geschichte und markiert eine neue Wachstumsphase f\u00fcr die fusionierte Gruppe.<\/p>\n
(WK-intern) \u2013 London, Gro\u00dfbritannien \u2013 Cargostore Worldwide, ein weltweit f\u00fchrender Anbieter von DNV- und ISO-zertifizierten Schiffscontainern f\u00fcr Onshore- und Offshore-Projekte, hat heute den Abschluss der \u00dcbernahme zweier unabh\u00e4ngiger Unternehmen mit Sitz in Aberdeen bekannt gegeben: Reftrade UK und Environstore.
\nCargostore, Reftrade und Environstore werden weiterhin von Connection Capital LLP und Agathos Management LLP investiert. Gemeinsam sind die Unternehmen nun f\u00fcr eine Expansion auf dem britischen und internationalen Markt aufgestellt.<\/p>\n
Dieser Schritt markiert einen wichtigen Schritt in Cargostores strategischer Expansion in wichtige britische Offshore-Zentren, darunter Aberdeen, ein globales Zentrum der Offshore-Logistik. Die \u00dcbernahme erm\u00f6glicht die schnelle Bereitstellung hochwertiger DNV 2.7-1- und ISO-zertifizierter Ausr\u00fcstung in Schottland, Nordostengland und East Anglia und st\u00e4rkt so die Pr\u00e4senz von Cargostore im Inland deutlich.\n<\/p>\n
Durch die Erweiterung um die ATEX-zugelassenen EX-K\u00fchlcontainer von Reftrade (Zone 2), ideal f\u00fcr den Einsatz in explosionsgef\u00e4hrdeten Bereichen der Offshore- und Pharmaindustrie, und die Schlammcontainer von Environstore f\u00fcr Bohr- und Stilllegungsprojekte erweitert Cargostore sowohl sein Inventar als auch seine Kapazit\u00e4ten. Diese Erg\u00e4nzungen erm\u00f6glichen es dem Unternehmen, die wachsende Nachfrage in den Bereichen Offshore-Wind<\/strong>, Stilllegung, saubere Energie und Pharmaindustrie zu bedienen und gleichzeitig komplexe globale Operationen mit gro\u00dfem Umfang und hoher Geschwindigkeit zu unterst\u00fctzen.\n<\/p>\n Kunden von Reftrade und Environstore profitieren nun vom Zugang zu Cargostores umfangreicher Flotte CSC-zertifizierter Cargo Carrying Units (CCUs), die alle den DNV 2.7-1-Standards entsprechen und so eine nahtlose Unterst\u00fctzung von Projekten selbst unter schwierigsten Offshore-Bedingungen gew\u00e4hrleisten.\n<\/p>\n Die \u00dcbernahme st\u00e4rkt zudem den Intermodalbereich von Cargostore und baut auf dessen langj\u00e4hriger Erfahrung bei der Bereitstellung tempor\u00e4rer K\u00fchllagerl\u00f6sungen f\u00fcr den pharmazeutischen und humanit\u00e4ren Sektor weltweit auf. Mit den f\u00fcr Zone 2 ATEX zugelassenen K\u00fchlcontainern von Reftrade ist Cargostore nun bestens aufgestellt, den stark regulierten globalen Pharmamarkt zu unterst\u00fctzen, in dem fl\u00fcchtige Substanzen bei stabilen Temperaturen in gef\u00e4hrlichen Umgebungen gelagert werden m\u00fcssen.\n<\/p>\n Sowohl Cargostore in England als auch Reftrade in Schottland spielten eine entscheidende Rolle bei der schnellen Bereitstellung von K\u00fchllagern w\u00e4hrend der COVID-19-Test- und Impfkampagnen in Gro\u00dfbritannien. Cargostore unterst\u00fctzt weiterhin internationale Notfallma\u00dfnahmen, ein Bereich, der von der Integration der technischen Expertise von Reftrade weiter profitieren wird. Die geb\u00fcndelte St\u00e4rke erm\u00f6glicht zudem einen verbesserten Service f\u00fcr Kunden aus den Bereichen Verteidigung, Regierung und Hilfsorganisationen, die schnelle, zuverl\u00e4ssige und konforme Lager- und Logistikl\u00f6sungen ben\u00f6tigen.\n<\/p>\n Die Vereinbarung umfasst den Erwerb einer Flotte von DNV-akkreditierten Offshore-Bohrkleincontainern, die erstmals in das Bestandsportfolio von Cargostore aufgenommen wurden. Diese Container sind f\u00fcr ein konformes Abfallmanagement bei Bohr- und Stilllegungsprojekten von entscheidender Bedeutung und stehen f\u00fcr Offshore-Energieunternehmen weltweit zur Miete oder zum Kauf zur Verf\u00fcgung.\n<\/p>\n Andrew Hart, CEO von Cargostore Worldwide, sagte: \u201eCargostore ist in den letzten f\u00fcnf Jahren kontinuierlich gewachsen und hat sich einen hervorragenden Ruf erarbeitet. Dies ist ein Beleg f\u00fcr unser kompetentes, aufmerksames und freundliches Team, das Kunden weltweit bei der Bereitstellung hochwertiger, sicherer und innovativer Container unterst\u00fctzt.\n<\/p>\n Die Umstellung auf erneuerbare Offshore-Energiequellen, die Dekarbonisierung und Stilllegung von Anlagen waren neben der Unterst\u00fctzung der globalen Nachfrage nach sauberem Gas und \u00d6l ein zentraler Bestandteil von Cargostores Wachstumsgeschichte. Dies ist ein spannender Moment, da wir unser globales Wachstum durch wichtige strategische Partnerschaften, neue Produkte, neue Regionen und erstmals auch Akquisitionen beschleunigen.\u201c Mit anderen Worten: Wir stehen noch ganz am Anfang.\u201c\n<\/p>\n Ab April 2025 werden Reftrade UK und Environstore zu 100 % im Besitz von Cargostore sein. Das bestehende Management und die operativen Teams beider Unternehmen bleiben unver\u00e4ndert. Greg Spence, seit der Gr\u00fcndung Gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrer von Reftrade UK und Environstore, und Martin Baxter, bereits Gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrer, werden vom Cargostore-Management unterst\u00fctzt, um die Unternehmen weiterzuentwickeln.\n<\/p>\n Greg Spence, Gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrer von Reftrade UK und Environstore, kommentierte: \u201eDie \u00dcbernahme erfolgt in einer Zeit starken Wachstums f\u00fcr alle drei Unternehmen und ist der logische n\u00e4chste Schritt, um gemeinsam unsere Position als weltweit f\u00fchrender Anbieter f\u00fcr sichere und p\u00fcnktliche Lieferungen zu st\u00e4rken.\n<\/p>\n Cargostore Worldwide completes acquisition of Reftrade UK and Environstore<\/p>\n London, UK \u2013 Cargostore Worldwide, a leading global supplier of DNV and ISO certified shipping containers for onshore and offshore projects, has today announced the completion of its acquisition of two independently owned, Aberdeen-based companies; Reftrade UK and Environstore.\n<\/p>\n The multi-million pound deal marks Cargostore\u2019s first acquisition in its 30-year history and signals a new phase of growth for the combined group; Cargostore, Reftrade and Environstore under the continued investment of Connection Capital LLP and Agathos Management LLP. Together, the businesses are now positioned to scale across the UK and international markets.\n<\/p>\n The move marks a major step in Cargostore\u2019s strategic expansion into key UK offshore hubs, including Aberdeen, a global epicentre for offshore logistics. The acquisition enables rapid mobilisation of high-spec DNV 2.7-1 and ISO certified equipment across Scotland, the North East of England and East Anglia, significantly strengthening Cargostore\u2019s domestic footprint.\n<\/p>\n By adding Reftrade\u2019s Zone 2 ATEX approved EX refrigerated containers; ideal for hazardous offshore and pharmaceutical environments and Environstore\u2019s mudskips for drilling and decommissioning projects, Cargostore expands both its inventory and capability. These additions allow the company to meet growing demand across offshore wind, decommissioning, clean energy and pharmaceuticals, while continuing to support complex global operations with scale and speed.\n<\/p>\n Reftrade and Environstore clients will now benefit from access to Cargostore\u2019s extensive fleet of CSC certified Cargo Carrying Units (CCUs), all compliant with DNV 2.7-1 standards, ensuring seamless support for projects in even the most challenging offshore conditions.\n<\/p>\n The acquisition also enhances Cargostore\u2019s Intermodal Division, building on its strong track record in delivering temporary cold storage solutions to pharmaceutical and humanitarian sectors worldwide. With Reftrade\u2019s Zone 2 ATEX approved reefers now part of its product range, Cargostore is well positioned to support the highly regulated global pharmaceuticals market where volatile substances must be stored at stable temperatures in hazardous environments.\n<\/p>\n Both Cargostore in England and Reftrade in Scotland played vital roles in rapidly deploying cold storage units during the UK\u2019s COVID-19 testing and vaccination rollouts. Cargostore continues to support international emergency response efforts, an area that will benefit further from the integration of Reftrade\u2019s technical expertise. The combined strength will also enable improved service to defence, government and aid clients requiring fast, reliable and compliant storage and logistics solutions.\n<\/p>\n The agreement includes the acquisition of a fleet of DNV accredited offshore drill cuttings skips, introduced into Cargostore\u2019s inventory for the first time. These skips are critical for compliant waste management in drilling and decommissioning projects and are available for lease or sale across global offshore energy operations.\n<\/p>\n Andrew Hart, CEO of Cargostore Worldwide, said: \u201cOver the past five years Cargostore has organically grown from strength-to-strength by developing an exceptional reputation, which is testament to our knowledgeable, attentive and friendly team supporting clients with the deployment of high-quality, safe and innovative containers across the world.\n<\/p>\n \u201cThe transition to renewable offshore energy sources, decarbonisation and decommissioning has been a core part of Cargostore\u2019s growth story alongside supporting the global demand for clean gas and oil. This is an exciting moment as we fast-track our global growth through key strategic partnerships, new products, new geographies and for the first time, acquisitions. In other words, we\u2019re just getting started.\u201c\n<\/p>\n As of April 2025, Reftrade UK and Environstore will be 100% owned by Cargostore with no change planned to the existing management and operational teams within both companies. Greg Spence, who has held the role of Managing Director of both Reftrade UK and Environstore since their inception, and Martin Baxter who is an existing director, will be supported by the Cargostore management team to take the businesses to the next level.\n<\/p>\n Greg Spence, Managing Director of Reftrade UK and Environstore, commented: \u201cThe acquisition comes at a time of significant growth for all three companies and is the natural next step to collectively enhance our position as a global leader in the safe and timely delivery of the latest industry accredited refrigerated containers and temperature controlled units.\n<\/p>\n \u201cThere are many synergies between the companies; our people-first approach to service ensures our customers and talent are prioritised, and we are proud to offer the best equipment fitted with state-of-the-art features, which exceed the highest health and safety standards in the UK and Europe. This commitment to quality and service is what Reftrade UK and Environstore has become known for, and we will continue this through Cargostore.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Bernard Dale, Managing Partner of Connection Capital, added: \u201cWe supported the management team at Cargostore in a management buyout in 2020. The company has grown exceptionally well since our investment and we are delighted to see the acquisition of Reftrade and Environstore enhancing its product and service offering to its global customer base.\u201d\n<\/p>\n About Cargostore Worldwide<\/strong> About Reftrade UK<\/strong> About Environstore<\/strong> PR: Cargostore Worldwide<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n PB: L to R \u2013 Greg Spence of Reftrade UK and Andrew Hart of Cargostore Worldwide. \/ \u00a9: Cargostore Worldwide<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Die Multi-Millionen-Pfund-Transaktion ist die erste Akquisition von Cargostore in seiner 30-j\u00e4hrigen Geschichte und markiert eine neue Wachstumsphase f\u00fcr…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43079,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3976],"tags":[331,332,21841,21842,551,13,21843,14,15,21844,21845,21846,12,3992,3993,3994,3995,3996,3997],"class_list":{"0":"post-43078","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-vereinigtes-koenigreich","8":"tag-aktuelle-nachrichten","9":"tag-aktuelle-news","10":"tag-cargostore","11":"tag-dnv-akkreditiert","12":"tag-grossbritannien","13":"tag-headlines","14":"tag-hilfsprojekte","15":"tag-nachrichten","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-offshore-wind","18":"tag-offshore-hubs","19":"tag-offshore-projekte","20":"tag-schlagzeilen","21":"tag-uk","22":"tag-united-kingdom","23":"tag-united-kingdom-of-great-britain-and-northern-ireland","24":"tag-vereinigtes-koenigreich","25":"tag-vereinigtes-koenigreich-grossbritannien-und-nordirland","26":"tag-vereinigtes-koenigreich-von-grossbritannien-und-nordirland"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@de\/114361888006733810","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
