Circle Logistics, a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider specializing in temperature-controlled transportation, today announced its strategic partnership with the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), the national trade association that represents America’s frozen food and beverage makers.

Through this partnership, Circle Logistics will collaborate with AFFI and its member companies, to support safer, efficient, and resilient cold chains across North America. AFFI's members are various players in the supply chain, including farmers, fruit and vegetable growers, prepared meal manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors.

“As frozen food demand continues to grow and regulatory expectations tighten, our customers are looking for partners who understand both the science of food safety and the realities of transportation,” said Robert Fortmeyer, general counsel at Circle Logistics. “Partnering with AFFI allows us to align our temperature-controlled logistics expertise with the industry’s leading voice on frozen food safety, advocacy, and business insights so we can help brands protect product quality and consumer trust from plant to shelf.”

Circle Logistics’ focus on temperature-controlled solutions and supply chain visibility makes them a valuable partner for their members as they work to deliver safe, high-quality frozen foods. Circle is looking forward to collaborating with AFFI to strengthen the frozen food industry’s ability to meet consumer expectations while navigating a rapidly evolving regulatory and logistics landscape.
