freshcube osthessen – fresh concepts for (cold) logistics
Located at the hub of German and European logistics, the freshcube osthessen stands out. Situated in Bad Hersfeld, directly on the A4, this state-of-the-art logistics property with temperature control has been operational since 2023. The multicube can maintain temperatures between +4°C and +25°C, making it the ideal logistics partner, particularly for the food and pharmaceutical sectors. This ensures your goods stay fresh and your mind stays cool – a promise the freshcube lives up to with its name.
On a storage area of 12,000 m², tailored logistics services are provided under the strictest quality and safety standards, going far beyond the classic storage and retrieval of pallets. In addition to its distinctive name, the freshcube serves another purpose: Since its completion, it has become the new home for the employees of our subsidiary, HFL. Herbst Frischelogistik has been delivering transportation expertise in the food and pharmaceutical sectors for decades, particularly through vehicles with special equipment and specially trained drivers.
Sustainability was also a crucial focus during the construction phase of this temperature-controlled logistics center. Resource- and environmentally-friendly materials, along with the rooftop solar system, ensure sustainable logistics. Cutting-edge technologies in the vehicles used perfectly complement this strategy.

Cold logistics: seamless, efficient, and secure
What makes the freshcube osthessen so unique is its specialization in storing temperature-sensitive goods. Guaranteed temperature zones from +4 to +25 degrees Celsius, continuously monitored using the latest technology, provide the ideal environment for products in the food, pharmaceutical, or chemical sectors. To ensure you only need one partner for your (logistics) cold chain in the future, we also handle transportation. Specialized vehicles with multi-chamber systems are as much a standard with us as strict compliance with legal requirements, achieved through the use of telematics systems. Collaborating with all major food retailers and discounters allows us to grow every day and improve just a little bit more.
Infrastructure
A smooth logistics operation requires good infrastructure. The East Hesse region is considered a logistics hub due to its central location in Germany and Europe. For this reason, many other service providers have already established themselves in this region. With its immediate proximity to the A4 motorway (connecting to the A5 and A7), Frankfurt Airport, and various waterways, all modes of transport are excellently covered. Whether your goods travel by ship, plane, or truck – the freshcube osthessen is always the ideal place for your warehouse.

What makes the multicube concept so special?
Each multicube is divided into several hall modules, allowing different product and trade sectors, such as chemicals, food, or pharmaceuticals, to be consolidated at a single location. This is made possible by individual modules that are completely separable from one another. This design enables us to offer our customers fully customized cost accounting. Additionally, the multi-user concept ensures significant cost optimization. Multiple customers with different product sectors can share the spaces, meaning they are not the sole cost bearers. Moreover, the logistics spaces impress with a high degree of customization as well as efficient and state-of-the-art IT management. Whether you are looking for a central location for your warehouse or an alternative space for promotional or seasonal goods, your concepts have a place in our multicubes.

Logistics fulfillment for the B2B and B2C consumer goods market is one of the pfenning Group’s core competencies. Whether electrical appliances, textiles, FMCG articles, cosmetics, furniture or many other consumer goods – your articles are in safe hands with us. As one of Germany’s leading contract logistics service providers, we offer you the entire range of services – either as a complete service or specifically for individual tasks.
Food logistics is one of our strengths – especially as the company’s roots go back 90 years, when the founder bought the first truck to transport milk. With these decades of experience, we have developed into the top 3 company for food contract logistics in Germany. Today we drive to all major food retailers and discounters. Temperature-controlled HACCP storage and IFS-certified food delivery are part of our corporate DNA. Quality and freshness are at the heart of our refrigeration expertise.
Storing, checking, picking and transporting – without logistics, no goods will reach the store and no online order will reach the consumer. Our contract logistics offers the right fulfillment solution for every product range and every sales channel. And if something comes back, these returns are also given a new chance thanks to our efficient returns management. And that’s good news not only for the supplier, but also for the environment.
No risks and no side effects – this is what pharmaceutical contract logistics from the pfenning group stands for. Storage, handling and transport – including those of temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products in various temperature ranges – are carried out on the basis of the current GDP recertification 2021. We offer our customers individual and unique, logistical combinations of active ingredients that pay off immediately.
We not only supply logistics, but also solve special tasks relating to products and processes in the automotive and industrial sectors. Our industry-specific value-added services complement our tried-and-tested logistics services and make us a premium partner in contract logistics. Short distances, local expertise – we are not only close to our customers, but with one of our 100 or so locations we are often right outside their factory gates.
With the pfenning group, the chemistry is right. Because we know the requirements for the storage, handling and transport of environmentally hazardous, flammable, corrosive or toxic substances. Particularly in this industry, it is important to have a partner with expertise in logistics outsourcing. The fact that we, as a 3pl partner, can offer this to our customers from the chemical industry on an equal footing is proven by the industry-specific and safety-related approvals as well as the protective measures that we consistently and successfully implement for all areas of chemical logistics – from the storage of hazardous goods to the transport of speciality chemicals.
