Miramas, France: Norbert Dentressangle has opened a shared-user cold store at Miramas in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in the south of France as part of its development of temperature-controlled logistics business in Europe.
The 10,745m2 facility has a CO2 refrigeration system and provides chilled and frozen storage for 8,500 pallets on two levels, one underground.
The new facility is close to Norbert Dentressangle’s existing cold store in Salon-de-Provence. The two sites give Norbert Dentressangle 160,000m3 of frozen storage space over 21,000m2.
The Miramas site will serve around 85 customers, providing a frozen storage and distribution service to around 1,500 delivery points from Perpignan to Monaco.
