Aðföng

Aðföng is a procurement and distribution centre serving both the retail and wholesale markets. The company’s operations consist of procurement, warehousing, and distribution for Bónus, Hagkaup, and Olís stores, as well as for the wholesale business Stórkaup. The origins of Aðföng date back to 1993, when Bónus and Hagkaup established a joint purchasing company under the name Baugur ehf. The company began operations in Suðurhraun, Garðabær, and five years later, in 1998, adopted the name Aðföng before relocating later that year to Skútuvogur 7. Since then, Aðföng has continuously developed its dry goods warehouse operations at that location.

In addition to its dry goods warehouse in Skútuvogur, Aðföng operates chilled and frozen storage facilities at Korngarðar 1, as well as Ferskar kjötvörur operation at Síðumúli 34. Ferskar kjötvörur is one of Iceland’s largest meat processors and offers consumers premium beef and lamb sourced from Icelandic farmers. The company places strong emphasis on freshness, quality, and product traceability, supplying all Bónus and Hagkaup grocery stores with meat products, in addition to serving restaurants and other customers.

Aðföng’s procurement activities consist both of sourcing from domestic suppliers and importing products from abroad. The company also imports beer and wine from leading wine-producing regions around the world, which are sold through the Veigar online store and ÁTVR liquor stores.

Economies of scale are a key principle throughout Aðföng’s operations. Approximately 15,000 product lines from 30 trading countries pass through the company’s warehouses and are distributed to around 70 stores. The latest technology is utilized wherever possible in the company’s operations. Efficient transportation, transparency regarding product origin, and quality assurance are all essential for Aðföng to fulfil its core mission of providing Icelandic consumers with high-quality food and everyday products.

Aðföng places strong emphasis on minimizing the environmental impact of its operations and contributes through efficient processes and environmentally friendly solutions.
