Aðföng

Aðföng is a warehouse and distribution center serving the retail and wholesale markets. The company's activities include purchasing, inventory management, and distribution for Bónus, Hagkaup, and Olís stores, as well as the wholesale company Stórkaup. The history of Aðföng dates back to 1993 when Bónus and Hagkaup established a joint warehouse company under the name Baugur ehf. The company began operations in Suðurhraun, Garðabær, and was renamed Aðföng five years later. In the autumn of 1998, it relocated to Skútuvogur 7, where it has since developed its operations for dry goods storage.

In addition to its dry goods warehouse in Skútuvogur, Aðföng operates a chilled and frozen goods storage facility in Korngarðar 1 and manages Ferskar kjötvörur in Síðumúli 34. Ferskar kjötvörur is one of the largest meat processors in Iceland, offering top-quality beef and lamb sourced from Icelandic farmers. The focus is on freshness, quality, and traceability, supplying meat to all Bónus and Hagkaup grocery stores.

Aðföng's warehouse activities involve working with both domestic suppliers and imports, including private-label products. The company collaborates with grocery chains on product development for its private labels, most notably Himneskt and Heima. Aðföng also imports fine wines from leading wine regions worldwide, sold through the Hagar Wine online store and ÁTVR liquor stores.

Economies of scale are a cornerstone of Aðföng's operations. Approximately 15,000 product lines from 30 trading countries pass through the company's warehouses and are distributed to about 70 stores. The company leverages the latest technology wherever possible to ensure efficiency. Effective logistics, transparency in product origin, and quality are vital to Aðföng's core mission of providing Icelandic consumers with high-quality food and everyday goods.

Aðföng is committed to minimizing the environmental impact of its operations. Through efficient processes and environmentally friendly solutions, Aðföng contributes positively to sustainability.
