As part of the II Cold Chain Logistics and Transport Summit,organized by Cadena de Suministro, our partner Pablo Gómez took part in a one-to-one conversation with the event’s host, addressing the main challenges facing the temperature-controlled supply chain in Spain. The discussion highlighted critical issues such as regulation, sustainability, digitalization, increasing operational volumes and, in particular, the shortage of drivers.
Pablo Gómez shared Albia IMAP’s perspective on a market undergoing profound transformation and marked by a high degree of uncertainty. As he pointed out, the Spanish cold chain logistics sector remains highly fragmented compared to other European markets, which limits its ability to compete in large tenders, access financing, or scale operations.
In this context, business consolidation becomes essential. Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) in the transport and logistics sector offer a direct path to gaining scale, improving competitiveness, and securing the future sustainability of companies.
At Albia IMAP, we work with companies in the cold chain transport and logistics sector across all types of strategic processes: from the search for industrial or financial partners, to structuring buy-side or sell-side transactions. Our role as an M&A advisor in Spain is to provide sector expertise, access to international investors, and financial advisory solutions tailored to each project.
The conclusion is clear: the cold chain sector is facing challenges that demand scale, investment, and technology. Consolidation through M&A, supported by a solid growth strategy, represents a tangible opportunity to build leaders that are more efficient, sustainable, and competitive in the marketplace.
At Albia IMAP, we are ready to support companies on this journey, helping them grow and strengthen their position in a sector that is essential for the Spanish economy.
