Operating a cold storage warehouse is challenging due to the need to constantly maintain a certain temperature for storage purposes, while keeping the equipment and personnel warm and able to function at optimum capacity.
Refrigerated and frozen foods account for the majority of products stored in cold storage warehouses. In fact, the international frozen foods market alone is expected to grow from an estimated $165.4 billion in 2009 to $199.5 billion by 2016. Cold storage is also vital for other industries as well such as pharmaceuticals, petro-chemicals and even high-tech electronics.
