The Oberhausen center will feature a total of 57,000 pallet locations, 450,000 tray locations and 57 highly dynamic stacker cranes, designed to handle a daily pick capacity of 252,000 cases.

Americold is investing in new fully automated and semi-automated expansion projects and select redevelopment of its existing Atlanta major market cold storage infrastructure.

The latest expansion will add another 115,000 square feet, 16,000 pallet positions and 50 new jobs.

Phase 1 of the 4-phase project will grow to 8.5 million cubic feet and accommodate 35,000 pallet positions over the next several years.

Phase 2 includes a 126,000-square-foot freezer addition with 9 loading docks and 18,900 pallet positions.

Phase I of the project will be a 250,000-square-foot facility built by Tippmann Construction, with site work scheduled to begin in December.
