Roy has over 30 years of experience in the cold storage sector. At the age of 18, he began his career at Eurofrigo as a reach truck driver. After a period of 6 years, during which he gained experience in all aspects of the role of a cold storage worker, he transitioned to Frigologix. Here, he became the director and took responsibility for two cold storage facilities.

In 2015, he had the opportunity to become a co-owner of Van Soest Coldstores. Over the following period, the organization expanded from a single cold storage facility to three locations in the Netherlands and Belgium. At the end of 2019, the cold storage facilities were sold to Lineage, where Roy worked in the role of Business Development Manager Benelux.

In 2022, Roy made the move to Constellation Cold and started as the General Manager of two cold storage facilities in Belgium. In September 2023, he assumed the role of Managing Director for the Dutch cold storage facilities.

Constellation’s leading position in the Netherlands originated from the acquisitions of Koel-en-Vrieshuis Lintelo in 2020 and Vrieshuis Lagemaat in 2022. Both firms have a rich heritage in the market.

Lintelo was founded over 70 years ago, when the Van de Put family opened a temperature-controlled storage facility in Aalten, a few miles north of the German border to cater to the needs of local food producers. Family-run Lagemaat was opened in 1963 in Njkerk, less than 50km away from Amsterdam.

Both firms saw early success and strong growth. Lintelo opened a new facility in Varsseveld in 2009, followed by a 14,000-pallet expansion in 2018 which added best-in-class facilities. The facility saw immediate high demand from customers and was built to sustainable BREEAM-certified standards. Lagemaat undertook similar capital investments in 1985 and 2010 to open two new facilities in Nijkerk, followed by a site-expansion in 2018 to add an extra 3,500 pallet spaces. Both Lintelo and Lagemaat quickly gained a reputation in the market for their excellent service and best-in-class value-added logistics offering, including blast freezing and tempering.

Constellation has continued to invest further in the Dutch facilities with the addition of new automation technology and equipment. In 2023 a state-of-the-art 18,500 pallet expansion of the Nijkerk site was completed, creating additional capacity to serve strong customer demand.

Constellation has a strong pipeline of investment plans in the Netherlands in the near future, which will enable the continued rapid growth of the business to meet our customers’ ambitions.
