Americold Opens Third Temperature-Controlled Facility in Idaho
Atlanta-based Americold opened a new temperature-controlled facility in Heyburn, Idaho. The 160,000-square-foot building has capacity for more than 17,000 pallets—10,000 steel-racked and 7,000 bulk-storage positions.
Americold will condition the facility to accommodate the local dairy and agricultural market. The fully secured building, with 10 truck and seven rail dock doors, has the ability to maintain temperatures ranging from -5°F to 50°F, and offers a suite of services, including cross-docking, labeling and ticketing solutions, product tempering and export full-truck load and less-than truck load consolidation. The company will employ as many as 35 people from the local area at this facility.
