Friopuerto opens new cold storage facility in Portugal
Friopuerto, Spain, opened the doors to its new cold storage facility situated in Sines, Portugal. This facility is one of five refrigerated installations owned and operated by Friopuerto, which has facilities in Valencia, Veracruz, Sines, Tangier and soon Montevideo. The opening of the Sines facility demonstrates its strong investment commitment to temperature-controlled logistics.
The installation involves a 3.000 m2-capacity, two chilled chambers (0-18°C) intended mainly for the storage and cross docking of fruits and fresh products and a capacity of more than 1,000 pallets. Operational efficiency is ensured by a large docking area of 750 m2 with eight independent docks for loading and unloading. Friopuerto, which is also said to be the only temperature-controlled logistics operator at the Port of Sines, will develop the second phase of its ambitious growth plan to double the capacity of the installation and add services for frozen products.
