One of China’s biggest online frozen food distributors, Fujian Frozen Goods Online Network Technology, is planning to go public, according to reports.

The firm is set to become listed on the Nasdaq, the New York stock exchange, through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), a type of company formed solely to allow a firm to go public.

FG Online, as it is known, provides frozen food, pre-made food and supply-chain services to restaurants, convenience stores and other small businesses.

The company is growing its business into other areas, including cold chain warehousing, storage and logistics, through a subsidiary, EasyFresh Cold Chain Logistics, which supplies major Chinese firms including Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce company.

It has also launched Three Meals Ingredient, described as a retail platform providing pre-prepared meals.

The three businesses operate independently but together form what has been described as a closed loop business system, as they can provide services to one another.
