In a world where the average cold storage facility is four decades old and demand continues to surge, navigating the landscape of real estate for refrigerated or frozen space becomes a monumental challenge for businesses of all sizes.

The new DC replaces an aging facility and will incorporate the latest in leading warehouse technology to increase efficiency in selecting, packing, and loading processes. 

The partnership will add 30 of Tricont Logistics’ temperature-controlled storage facilities to the Flowspace network of more than 100 fulfillment centers.  

This 40% increase in overall pallet capacity is positioned well given the high concentration of frozen food producers in southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

 Implementing an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) can offer significant advantages in such environments. 

With SnoFox’s data-driven insights, cold storage facilities are empowered to make changes that improve facility cooling efficiency by up to 40%. 

The importance of cold storage real estate for U.S. food security cannot be overstated. The decisions food supply chain managers make today can affect the food supply of Americans for generations to come.

The theme for the 2022 Lineage Sustainability report is “Built for This” – meaning Lineage has not only built a cleaner, more efficient cold chain, but is also built for resilience to navigate future challenges facing the industry and world.
