The 142,000-square-foot site, built by Ti Cold, is part of a three-phase project.
 

Many of the world’s largest grocery retailers are now investing in automated order fulfillment solutions to optimize the handling of fresh fruit, vegetables, bakery items and dairy products across their distribution networks.

MWCold operates over 545,000-square-feet of strategically located warehouse space at two facilities in central Indiana.

With quick and easy access to Interstates 77 and 90, the public refrigerated warehouse will provide its customers with a full range of frozen distribution services.

 Together, the two companies are creating a virtual, national network of carriers and independent cold-storage warehouses allowing for enhanced visibility for contracting, negotiating, direct payment and tracking for perishable product deliveries.

Lineage Logistics has acquired Hanson Logistics, one of the largest cold storage organizations in the Midwest. Hanson currently ranks as the twelfth largest temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics provider in North America, according to the International Association of Refrigerated Warehousing (IARW).

The ongoing labor crisis along the cold chain has necessitated a number of changes throughout the industry to keep up with record demand for goods. 

Groundbreaking has started on Houston ColdPort, a 315,101-square-foot speculative cold storage warehouse in Houston, Texas. Houston ColdPort will feature a 50-foot clear height warehouse, a 60-foot-deep cold dock, 38 dock positions with vertical storing hydraulic dock leveler equipment, LED lighting throughout, a Tyco Quell dry fire sprinkler system, a 200-foot-deep truck court with 57 trailer parking spaces and ample automobile parking. Houston ColdPort can accommodate a single tenant or can be demised for a two-tenant layout.

Lineage Logistics has reached an agreement to acquire Kloosterboer Group, a leading independent integrated platform for temperature-controlled storage, logistics and value-added services in Europe, Canada and South Africa. The transaction is subject to regulatory clearance and completion of the employee consultation process. 

Cold Creek Solutions (CCS) has announced a second project in the state of Texas, this time in San Antonio. The roughly 305,000-square-foot facility will provide storage for 45,000 pallets of frozen or refrigerated products upon completion. Unlike existing vintage facilities and other new builds in the region, this new project, designed by ARCO National Construction, will allow for efficient large-scale or multi-operator build-out. CCS anticipates breaking ground this fall, with the facility scheduled to open in late 2022.
