Americold recently broke ground on a $34 million temperature-controlled warehouse expansion in New Zealand that will more than double the site’s capacity.
“Temperature-controlled warehouses play a critical role in the farm-to-table supply chain,” Richard Winnall, Americold international president, said in a news release. “As a market leader, we operate varied types of facilities essential to the temperature-controlled food supply chain, also known as the cold chain. This ensures that products move from manufacturers to end consumers in a safe, reliable, cost-effective manner with minimal environmental impact.”
The facility expansion is the third regional growth initiative for Americold in the past 24 months, the company reported. The 164,000-sq.-ft. site, located 10 miles from the Christchurch airport, will enhance Americold’s ability to meet growing demand across the country’s South Island.
