Abide by regulatory requirements, extend product lifespan indefinitely, and lock in flavor, vitamins, and minerals. Americold’s blast freezing process is available at many of our facilities.

Maximize the capacity of your trucks and use our slatting and deslatting services for product requiring blast freezing. Move more product and have it frozen sooner.

We have a scheduled, temperature-controlled national LTL network that drives right by your facilities – and those of your customers. You get full truckload service for less than truckload rates.

Blast freeze your product, then take advantage of cost-effective ocean and rail transportation services. We’ll collect and continue to store your product in a frozen state, then add use-by dates after tempering. The results? Long overall product lifespan and cost-effective logistics.

We use automation where it makes sense to improve supply chain speed and accuracy, so your shelves remain stocked amid spikes in demand.

Enjoy the efficiency of our preparing your aisle-ready units, and re-purpose on-site processing space. It saves you time and labor.

We can repackage items into customized materials closer to your customer and later along the order cycle time, allowing you to delay product assignment for as long as possible and reduce product handling.

Deliver product in bulk to us and have us personalize with customer-specific packaging and labeling. This reduces waste and saves on excess product transportation costs.

We can pick eaches, cases, or layers so you can mix SKUs and maximize pallet utilization. We can even load pallets in store-required order for ease of unpacking at the destination.

Store products in a frozen state to prolong shelf life. Then take advantage of our tempering and date-coding activities to return product back to customer-specific temperature ranges with maximum possible use-by criteria.
