Cold Summit, a leading developer of next-generation cold storage solutions, is pleased to announce the expansion of its operations into Europe with the formation of Cold Summit Europe. To lead this strategic initiative, the company has appointed Harld Peters as president of Cold Summit Europe.

Peters brings over 30 years of international experience in global supply chain management and the services industry, having held senior leadership roles at top companies such as UPS and, most recently, serving as president of Lineage Europe. He has led large-scale operations across High-tech, FMCG, pharma, and food sectors, with deep expertise in contract logistics, freight forwarding, transportation, and small package delivery. His global career spans multiple countries and continents, making him exceptionally well-equipped to lead Cold Summit's expansion into Europe.

"Harld's deep industry expertise and global perspective make him the ideal leader to drive our expansion into the European cold chain market," said Scott Pertel, CEO of Cold Summit. "His proven ability to align vision with execution and deliver growth across complex logistics environments will be instrumental as we scale our presence and service offerings across Europe."

Expansion into Europe marks a major milestone in the company's growth and commitment to delivering excellence in cold storage solutions worldwide.

"I am honored to join Cold Summit at this exciting stage of growth," said Peters. "The demand for modern, efficient, and sustainable cold storage solutions in Europe is significant, and Cold Summit is well-positioned to deliver value to a broad range of clients. I look forward to leading our expansion and building a strong presence across the region."
