Distribution logistics: ambient, chilled & frozen
Cans, noodles and soup powders flow through Anbar Naft, Molavi and Robat Karim wholesale rows on ambient trucks; nuggets, burgers and Olivier salads rely on data-logged reefers and distributors such as Sayeh Samen, Ayhan and Tapdel. Export hubs in Shahriar, West Tehran and IKIA push stews and noodles to the Gulf, Iraq and Russia.
Anbar Naft and Molavi set floor prices for ambient lines, while dual-temp fleets price frozen and chilled RTE — the two arteries of Greater Tehran wholesale.
Strategic outlook
Demand is shifting from metal cans to IQF plates and MAP sandwiches, forcing investment in advanced IQF, microwave-safe bio packaging and multi-temp logistics. Hanifoods and Maedeh bulk 2.5–3 kg HORECA packs reduce kitchen labour and inventory risk for caterers.
Iranco connects B2B buyers with retort stew, IQF protein and chilled MAP producers.
