United States Cold Storage Completes Wilmington, IL Addition
United States Cold Storage, Voorhees, N.J., completed a 4.1 million-cubic-foot expansion in Wilmington, Ill., further strengthening its Midwest storage and distribution capabilities.
Built in 2009, the Wilmington facility is about 60 miles southwest of Chicago and works with sister sites in nearby Minooka and Lyons, Ill. The Phase 2 addition boosted the operation’s cold storage capacity to nearly 10 million cubic feet and 16,000 pallet positions. Specifically, Wilmington added three rooms, including one dedicated freezer room and two others with convertible temperature controls. USCS Wilmington had been operating at maximum levels and needed more dock space and loading doors, says Greg Rohrbaugh, general manager.
