Which Product Categories Does Varekamp Coldstores Specialize In?

Varekamp Coldstores specializes in four fresh product categories: fruit, vegetables, (sweet) potatoes, and flower bulbs. The company positions itself as a cold storage and packaging specialist for these products, handling the logistics process "from port to retailer" for importers, exporters, producers, and retailers in the fresh produce industry.

The Four Product Categories

These are the categories Varekamp explicitly names as its focus. The company describes itself as a logistics service provider "with cold storage and packaging specialisation in the world of vegetables, fruit, flower bulbs and (sweet) potatoes."

What "Specialization" Means in Practice

Focusing on these four categories shapes the services Varekamp offers:

• Conditioned (cold) storage — the company operates 26 cold stores with ample conditioned capacity, suited to products that need controlled temperatures.
• Packing — packaging is handled alongside storage, so products can move from storage to packing without leaving the provider.
• Ripening — ripening cells are part of the service range, relevant for products that need controlled ripening before sale.
• Sorting — Aweta automatic sorting lines support grading and sorting of fresh products.
• Transport, customs, and handling — these complete the chain, so a single provider covers movement, border formalities, and physical handling.

Because the company works only with fresh products, its systems and facilities are built around the temperature and handling requirements of fruit, vegetables, potatoes, and flower bulbs rather than general cargo.

Why the Category Focus Matters for Buyers

If your product falls into one of these four groups, Varekamp is set up to handle it end to end. The company states that as part of Europe Retail Packing, it can offer transport, customs, handling and storage, ripening, and packing — described as taking care of the entire logistics process so the customer can focus on marketing the product.

Practical implications of this focus:

• Single point of contact — one contact for questions across transport, customs, handling and storage, ripening, and packing.
• Single system — depending on customer wishes, work is based on one dedicated system with tools, automations, and portals giving insight into shipment history, production and sales orders, stock, and costs.
• Single invoice — everything can be combined on one collective invoice, or split for your own administration if preferred.

When Varekamp Is a Fit — and When It Isn't

A good fit if: you are an importer, exporter, producer, or retailer dealing in fruit, vegetables, (sweet) potatoes, or flower bulbs, and you need cold storage plus packing and related logistics in the Netherlands.

Likely not a fit if: your products fall outside these four fresh categories, since the company's stated specialization is limited to them.

The company's location between Rotterdam and Schiphol, at an Agri Business Centre, is presented as making it a link in the international supply chain for refrigerated logistics — relevant if your goods move through Dutch ports or airports.
