Emerson creates cold chain organization to focus on food quality, end-to-end optimization
Emerson’s cold chain organization will offer a total-channel approach to protect foods and other critical cargo every step along the cold chain.
Following its acquisitions in cargo monitoring, Emerson Commercial and Residential Solutions, St. Louis, Mo., announced a new cold chain organization focused on supporting all types of temperature-sensitive and asset optimization solutions wherever commercial goods are moved, stored or sold. Emerson’s cold chain organization will offer a total-channel approach to protect foods and other critical cargo every step along the cold chain — from grower and processor to distributor and retailer.
“There are big challenges to solve with the amount of food wasted, revenues lost and energy consumed globally, and this is why we are expanding our role in safeguarding the cold chain,” says John Rhodes, newly named group president of cold chain. “Organizing our expertise and resources to focus on the cold chain and deliver unique solutions that help improve food quality, reduce energy use and optimize business effectiveness will allow us to bring more value to our customers while making a positive impact on the environment.”
