Some people pray for rain, while others pray for Christian Salvesen to ease their logistics nightmares. The company is a major European shipper of frozen foods and household goods. Logistical operations, including warehouse design, temperature control, product movement, and fleet management, account for more than 90% of sales. The company ships goods to grocery stores and department stores with its fleet of 2,500 vehicles and 5,500 trailers. Christian Salvesen specializes in managing supply-chain operations for such retailers as Marks and Spencer and Safeway plc. The company processes vegetables, too. Swedish investment firm AB Custos, which owns 10%, has made an offer to buy the company.
