The Portland facility will also house five functional refrigerated loading docks and five temporary non-refrigerated docks.
Mission Produce, Oxnard, Calif., opened a state-of-the-art ripening and distribution center in Portland, Ore. This new forward distribution center (FDC) will expand Mission’s capabilities in the Pacific-Northwest.
“Portland, Ore., is a great location for our new FDC,” says Ben Barnard, vice president of global partnerships and business development. “This new facility, at 58,000 square feet, will expand our ripe capacity by providing 10 ripe rooms that are each capable of storing 24 pallets. Also, the facility will enhance our cold storage by offering two coolers and a cutting-edge refrigerated control system.”
