Our Facilities
Americold leads our industry in proudly supporting all major nodes of the cold storage food supply chain: production-advantaged facilities, forward distribution sites, retail distribution centers, and port facilities. Across our global network of conventional and automated facilities, we deliver tailored solutions for food producers, retailers, distributors, and more.
Port
Americold’s port facilities are strategically positioned at or near major U.S. maritime and rail ports, giving customers a meaningful logistical advantage with shorter dray times, later cutoffs, and earlier product availability. Our import/export hubs also streamline global trade by offering a wide range of value-added services, including I-House designation for USDA meat and poultry, USDA export inspections and documentation, bonded (CBP) space, FDA approvals, and blast freezing.
Production Advantaged
Americold’s network of production-advantaged warehouses are located close to where food is being harvested or produced – sometimes even attached to a customer’s own facility. We work closely with our customers’ production or manufacturing operations and provide a variety of value-added services to help prepare their products for storage or distribution.
Forward Distribution
Typically located near population centers in key distribution corridors around the globe, Americold’s network of forward distribution facilities serves customers from segments across the food supply chain. With Americold’s exceptional customer service and strong operating platform, we help our customers store their products safely and bring them to market where and when they need them.
Retail Distribution Centers
Americold delivers comprehensive cold chain solutions to support food retailers of all kinds across the industry. We offer an array of value-added services, including case picking, multi-vendor consolidation, direct store delivery, display preparation, and much more. With decades-long relationships with some of the largest and most respected food retailers worldwide, Americold has built an unmatched reputation for mastering this complex work.
