Americold, Atlanta, broke ground for a new facility at its Rochelle, Ill., campus, adding a 15.5 million-cubic-foot automated unit.

The Rochelle campus is currently home to two conventional warehouse facilities. This addition, being built on Americold-owned land, will bring an additional 57,600 pallet positions and extensive automation capabilities, thus boosting available capacity for Americold’s customers in the Chicago market.
