What is Industrial Cold Storage?

​

Fundamentally, the cold storage industry facilitates the processing, packing, movement, and storage of temperature-sensitive, perishable, and frozen food products that are shipped from producers or processing facilities to foodservice distributors, grocery stores, restaurants, and/or directly to the consumer.

​

Facility Types

​

Production Facilities

Typically located near raw material production, these facilities maintain large amounts of equipment for processing, have a narrower customer base, and are often purpose built.

​

Distribution Centers

Often in large urban areas and typically serve retail or commercial food customers in a major metro market or region. They focus on providing storage, product handling, distribution management, and other services primarily for refrigerated and frozen packaged goods.

​

Last Mile/Last Touch

Usually smaller facilities at in-fill locations that give the operator a thirty minute or less proximity to their customers.

Why Industrial Cold Storage?

​

Our focus on the development and acquisition of Industrial Cold Storage is driven by the sector's convergent tailwinds, led by changes in consumer trends in the last 3 years including growth in online grocery shopping, increased demand for last mile delivery locations, and overall population growth.
