CORE X Partners, a leading network of temperature-controlled storage operations, is celebrating its new 215,000-square-foot cold storage and logistics facility in Crown Point, Indiana. The company recently hosted a ceremony and tour with Indiana Gov.  Mike Braun, Crown Point Mayor Pete Land and other local community leaders.

CORE X CROWN officially began operations with its first deliveries in December, making Crown Point the home of CORE X Partners’ cold storage technology advancements. 

Its modern, efficient CO2 Refrigeration system is paired with a strategic approach to automation. CORE X CROWN—supported by partners such as Primus Builders and 45 North Group—is designed to support industry-leading outbound turn times with the latest automated pack-n-hold storage technology with Movu Robotics. Additionally, CORE X CROWN was rewarded LEED certification as part of minimizing the facility’s environmental impact.

“Opening CORE X CROWN is an exciting milestone for our mission of expanding this region’s place in the cold storage and logistics industry, and it was an honor to showcase this development to our local community leaders,” said Thom Smith, president and regional partner for CORE X CROWN and CORE X Hutt. “Northwest Indiana and Crown Point have been fantastic partners and we couldn’t be more proud to move forward in helping customers and communities alike.”

The development brings with it a major economic impact to the region. The full capital investment amount is anticipated to be more than $79 million, with a commitment of bringing nearly 75 additional jobs to the community. 

“Our efforts are rooted in the communities we serve, even beyond the family business legacies we work to maintain for years to come,” said Smith. “Facilities like CORE X CROWN allow for continued growth of that mission, and a deeper connection with communities like Northwest Indiana.”

The development has the ability to expand up to 450,000-square-feet.
